God can take any situation and make if for His Glory. Praise God that he did that with you! I pray that countless others did the same as you did and now have a relationship with the One and Only Living God!
Thank you for sharing your testimony. One by one, He calls us out of the darkness. God is soooo good!
Another ex-Episcopalian here, now happily in the arms of Mother Church. I would urge all Episcopalians who are disgusted by this man - and many others like him in the Episcopal Church - to just leave, and leave now. If Rome is not your thing then look elsewhere. The point is: just GO. It’s hard, but once you do it, you will wonder what took you so long, and your spiritual walk with Our Lord Jesus Christ will take on an all-new level of importance and meaning in your life.
Another point: most Episcopalians know at least one priest or bishop, and maybe more than one, who has been fired, and possibly even de-frocked forever, because of one incidence of a sexual affair with a woman resulting in a divorce from his wife. Gene not only got off scot-free, but is lionized in the media, made a bishop, and is asked to speak at huge public events of national importance such as the Inauguration of President Barack Obama. This blatant and in-your-face hypocrisy around this one issue, more than anything else, is what is fueling the massive exodus from the Episcopal Church
