Ditto.
Right is right, wrong is wrong. I don't think you get wiggle room just because standing for right costs you some money. I'm sure I read that somewhere.
"Episcopalians who share these conservative views of Scripture are in the minority in their own church. But by putting their time, energy and resources behind overseas traditionalists, they have helped move the communion toward the kind of demands they made this week."

I left the Episcopal Church two years ago rather than be part of this minority. Prior to that, I spent two hours personally speaking with the bishop and imploring him to embrace Scripture rather than "social justice" to no effect.
It is time for ECUSA to leave the Anglican Communion, and take those who don't believe in Scripture with them.
Perhaps. But it is my understanding that there are individual Christian Episcopal/Anglican churches that are larger than entire liberal dioceses.
Precisely. I'm one of them.

It depends on the state and how the real estate documents were drawn up. They have a good chance in California, a weak chance in Pennsylvania, and a fairly good shot in Virginia.
I've tagged some of the stories with a ' churchproperty ' keyword.
Yet he still took the paycheck while masquerading as a Christian leader.
If sionnsar is around, I'd like to ask him if it's true that the majority of African bishops have turned down any financial aid from ECUSA/TEC ever since Vicky Gene Robinson was ordained as Bishop of New Hampshire.
You rang? *\;-)
Here only via your ping: article remains unread and will remain so at least until after Lent. "Majority"? There have been turndowns, but I do not know any of the numbers. Sorry.
I'd be interested in knowing if he had the guts to make the same announcement in front of his congregation.
I'd bet no.
I would bet that she is straight. I figure that female "clergy" tend to be "progressive" by nature. Just a thought.
That's okay, Lurch, get ready for Lent.:)
Huh? Jimmy Swaggart has nothing to do with the Anglican Communion. Wasn't he associated with the Assemblies of God? Different A/G.
How long before Africa begins sending missionaries to the benighted heathens of North America?
If they break off I hope they take our CINO's with them. Then they can absorb the Unitarians and have a gay old time!
Why are Buddhists leading Christian churches?
Already started.
Yes, my point was that when Swaggart was removed from the A/G (Assemblies of God), his people predicted dire financial consequences for the A/G. But the A/G didn't suffer one bit from doing what was right, in fact after he was removed, the A/G has been doing very well.
Likewise, the Anglican Church will not suffer from removing from it's Communion those who break faith.
What does that even mean?
Why are they "others", Bishop Marshall?
Youhave separated yourself already with your words.
Where can I find that emphasis in scripture?
