WTG parishes

[Joe Boucher]

Glad to see some Episcopalians have morals.

[Nextrush]

Religion is the opium of the people when they mainline it.

One must follow Christ and the Bible and not the shifting sands of human opinion.

Hats off and thumbs up to these churches.

The practice of heresy by the hierarchy of the Episcopal Church does not go unnoticed by the true believers. But you can see the difficulty they face with the threats by the corrupt bishops to take away their property. That is the dilemma faced by multiple parishes; push back and lose your assets, a form of coercion ehhh? I suspect that many are quietly disagreeing but tolerating the heresy.

Hopefully, the split groups can negotiate a good price for the real estate and remain in same location.

[Redleg Duke]

The outcome of the battle over the property and finances will determine the queer agenda on the Episcopal Church. If the parishes leaving retain control of their finances and property, the main reason for the queers infiltrating will go away, and most of them will as well.

It is all about money.

I was actually surprised to see a couple of these churches pull away from the Episcopals. Long ago, before the heresy was completely normalized, we still worshipped with the Episcopals - but when we moved to NoVA, it took a few tries before we found a parish that wasn't completely on the liberal edge of the denomination. A couple of the ones named in recent days were parishes that we had at one time eschewed in favor of more conservative ones - so I'm pleasantly surprised to see them break and go with the Anglicans.

FReepmail sionnsar if you want on or off this moderately high-volume ping list (typically 3-9 pings/day).
This list is pinged by sionnsar, Huber and newheart.

FNC has a homosexual woman and bob beckle on to debate this!

I wonder what happens to the assets and will the episcopal go "gestapo" for the buildings.

[linda_22003]

I'm a very non-political Episcopalian; I can understand why some would want to secede, but I can't understand why they'd want to go under the Nigerian umbrella. I don't support prison for homosexuals, I'm not Nigerian, and a spokesman for the Nigerian bishop says he only advocates imprisoning gays "to appease Muslim leaders" in Nigeria.

I don't want my church to appease Muslim leaders.
Fortunately, my church is not likely to take a vote on secession.

Guts and determination. How many times have we heard the liberal press do a Chicken Little on any subject - environment, debt, etc. etc. - only to forget the follow-up story, especially when their fear-mongering goes wrong?

I know there have been posts of editorials from DC area papers who are incensed that those nasty Christians are exercising their rights to free association and worship.

In short, the EC acted decisively and quickly and the professional hand-wringers are absolutely astounded.

This is exactly what the homos want; to destroy the church. Look what they have done to the Catholic Church, marriage, etc. and mostly with the help of the ACLU they are moving for further destruction.

"In light of the consecration of a practicing homosexual bishop on November 2nd (2003), the Episcopal Church is declared ANATHEMA! This is the church in Pergamum spoken of in Revelation 2:12. I can only advise anyone in that church to LEAVE. God will not be mocked by a church more worried about offending sinful men than God Himself. God cannot and will not bless sin. The Episcopal Church is no better than the abominable Metropolitan Community Churches that promotes, glorifies, and takes pride in the sin of homosexuality." Bill Keller

[Salvation]

They had a segment about this on Brit Hume's "Special Reporot."

[Prometheus unbound]

So much for our big tent. I find it interesting that the "conservatives" insist on ending Episcopal dialogue. No one is forcing these parishes to have gay ministers, preach "pro-gay" sermons, or do anything "pro-gay". Gene Robinson is very far away in New Hampshire and the woman presiding bishop is a figure head with no authority inside the VA diocese. All these buildings a properties were purchased with donations by Episcopalians given to the Episcopal Church, not to some splinter dissidents who have captured a parish here or there. I hope they don't get a dime. Schism takes a thousand times longer to heal than to create. See Rome vs Eastern Orthodox Christianity, Rome vs Protestants, Protestants vs Protestants

I heard Brits panel yesterday. Fred Barnes belongs to one of the churches that broke with the Church in the US.

He said he, his wife and children all voted to disassociate with the US church.
