The US Episcopal Church is still in communion with the Queen and the Archbishop of Canterbury. They did urge the US bishops to slow down ordaining homosexual bishops, not for moral reasons but because of the controversy. The UK Anglican church has many bishops just as pagan as the US.

Thanks. I seem to recall there was a big to-do a year or so ago about whether the Mother Church wanted the ECUSA in its communion. It really is a shame it’s fallen so low.

The Episcopal Church’s actions have negatively affected the whole Anglican Communion, which has about 100 million members.

The Queen and the Royal Family are not in communion with the Episcopal Church. Her Majesty has given several indications she does not agree with what the Episcopalians are doing.

And Prince Charles infuriated the Episcopalians by attending Presbyterian church services the last time he was in the US, rather than Episcopal services, the first time that has ever happened. (The royals are also members of the Presbyterian Church of Scotland by virtue of being the hereditary monarchs of Scotland, although they generally only attend Presbyterian services when they are in Scotland.)
