So, Ms. Glasscock is to become a Bishop?

Bollocks!

I am sorry, I do not quite understand. Why on Earth is it OK for a priest/priestess to engage in a lifestyle that is explicitly called sinful and unacceptable by any fair biblical interpretation by ANYBODY? Why can't an active unrepentant pederast, or rapist, or murderer become a bishop?

Just asking!

“...warning that it would further alienate traditionalists who believe active homosexuality to be a sin...”

I’d be more concern about alienating God...who cares what the ‘traditionalists’ think.

Just about the fastest-growing denomination is the Vagitarians.

Henry VIII is probably having second thoughts.

"openly lesbian bishop"

Does that mean the congregation will have to watch?

Any wonder why the whole Episcopal Church is about to dissolve and go home to Rome?

I wish I could find an alternative that works for me. I have tried the different denominations, but nothing really feels like "worship" to me outside of an "Anglo-catholic" Mass.

I really do hate sitting home on Sundays, but I WILL NOT support these people with my money; and I WILL NOT give them any credibility with my presence in the pew.

I keep hoping someone will wake up and stop this madness, but I fear that it is too late.
