""Yes, it will hurt people," said Steve Gee of All Saints Episcopal Church in Greensboro. "Being a gay man, myself, I see this as part of the ongoing civil rights struggle that started in the ’40s when the churches had to make statements for racial equality. There were people who left churches because they would not drink from the common cup with people of color."

More gay propaganda invoking equality of discrimination blacks suffered.

"We're sorry you're gay, please accept our apology." Think it will work?

"I would wish it were as simple as saying 'My congregation is open to anybody who wants to come,’"

Actually, that's about as simple as you can say it, without specifying how and with whom.

treated by Christians

Is this apology on the behalf of ALL Christians? Some Christians? Pretend Christians? Huh? How does one make an apology for another person anyway? Last I saw the Bible didn't say anything about being a certain race as being abominable but on being an active homosexual it is plenty clear...in both the first and second testaments.

Do these Episcopalians worship God or their egos?

"children of God who have a full and equal claim with all other persons upon the love, acceptance and pastoral concern and care of the Church."


Unrepentant people, including Gays, will not see Heaven
But will be sent into Hell for eternity. and No amout of appologys will change that. God says he will separate the "Goats from the Sheep" the "Wheat from the Chaf"
and the Liberal Episcopals can't change that, not now, not ever.

Come on over. I crossed the Tiber years ago, albeit from the Methodists. When they went with the slogan, "Open Hearts..Open Minds" I gave up on them. I am all for having an open heart, but an open mind smacks of accepting an anything goes attitude.

When did homosexualism stop being a sex act and become a race?

These Episcopalians have wandered so far away from Biblical scripture that they can't tell the difference between the Word of God and new age liberal propaganda.

For those conservatives left in the fold, the Episcopalian leadership is just rubbing their nose in it. How can any true Christian be affiliated with that denomination.

To apologize for Christians wouldn't they have to be Christians first?

And when did Episcopalians get permission to apologize for the Church of Rome?

'My congregation is open to anybody who wants to come,’"

"All persons?" "Anybody?" Think about it. Apparently Muslims, terrorists, atheists, satanists, and Wiccans are all equally welcome in today's Episcopal church!

The Takeover proceeds apace.

Wonder when they vote to sell the properties and start cashing in.

When I consider that there is incalculable damage to American society by the breakdown of the family as the chief social unit when alternative sexual lifestyles are promoted, I have to ask who else might need to be included in the list of people drawing up apologies.

I am sorry for the torment lived out by homosexuals and lesbians but I am also sorry for the way our society is falling apart as we embrace the activities that spit in the face of God's laws and call it correct. And if the church is going to stand around and apologize, instead of evangelize, we aren't going to see many people coming out of the bondage of homosexuality.

Looks like I picked a bad week to become an Episcopalian.

Uh...read Romans, Chapter 1. Get back to me. Do we REALLY think that gays need an apology?

Nope.
