If Episcopal delegates to General Convention pass two marriage resolutions in Salt Lake City later this month, it could seal the fate of any hope that the Anglican Communion can hold together, a Covenant notwithstanding. The worst fears of GAFCON Primates and Global South archbishops will have been realized -- the Episcopal Church will never repent of its sexual innovations thus sealing forever the unity of the Anglican Communion as an attainable goal.
It is over. Never again will an Archbishop of Canterbury be able to call a meeting of his fellow primates; at least a third will be no shows. Ditto for a Lambeth Conference. Rowan Williams sowed to the wind and Justin Welby has reaped the whirlwind.

The Episcopal Church is a chain of theaters where they put on something called “liturgy.” In general, they do it very well. The notion that the Episcopal Church is held together by something called “beliefs” is quaint, and preposterous.
“’We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” (2 Corinthians 10:5)
There is a war of the mind going on in the world and in our lives. It is not waged by military forces or nations over geographical territory but in the mind and heart of every human being. The winner of this war will affect the lives of nations and the future of the world. We call this war the defense of the Christian Faith or Christian Apologetics. It has a twofold mission. There is the need to demolish intellectual strongholds: the difficult and dangerous mission of attacking and degrading all that opposes the knowledge of God. There is also the positive need to captivate every thought to the mind of Christ. This is not an attack against persons, but a war about issues. It is hard for some people to discuss these issues without becoming defensive. Therefore it is important to have the right attitude, an attitude of humility. St. Paul characterizes his attitude as “By the meekness and gentleness of Christ” (2 Cor.10:1).’”
Episcopalians are Unitarians who suspect God might exist.
ROFLOL!
Well the liberal line goes on. God will not be moved but the Episcopals can certainly move away from Him. And it looks like they are doing a dandy job of it!

Very sorry to hear this.
Add the disciples of Christ denomination as one that by embracing homosexuality has written its epitaph
Very sorry for any of those who seek to follow Christ and are burdened by those who promote fornication and sodomy.
In all fairness, the Anglicans have been in full schism since the first homo bishop. The body still twitches, but all that is left is for the wormy lawyers to digest.
On the plus side, the Catholic church has been generous to those Anglicans trapped in Sodom, offering them a way out. So as the Episcopalians and the Church of England give up on the whole “God” thing, it will at least draw the real Christians into a stronger embrace.
The Episcopal Church is like the country as a whole. Things get more and more awful, and we are told repeatedly that this is the final and last straw, but then the bandwagon just rolls merrily along on its downward path to hell.
