Katherine Ragsdale, an Episcopal priest from Massachusetts and president of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice, called abortion "providers" the "saints and heroes" of our day.

I’m this close to leaving the ECUSA because of people like this. What is wrong with these people?

Get out while you can. Remember Lot's wife! Let the dead bury the dead -- the living have work to do!

A non-Christian friend wisely summarized my sojourn in the United Methodist Church as follows: "Tom, you're like a man who sees a freight train heading for a cliff, and you don't know the first thing about freight trains, but you're determined to jump on board and turn it around!" People in revolt against Truth, and the Lord of Truth, rarely really rally to the banners of sanity and saintliness!

Well, you'll get a hearty welcome if you "swim the Bosporus" when you leave ECUSA. Kind if makes me wonder why you haven't left already. (About 1/3 of the clergy in the Southwest Region of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese are former Episcopalian priests who saw the writing on the wall long ago, and fled the apostacy of that body for the bossom of the Holy Orthodox Chruch.)

They rebel against God's Word and against His natural law, Clint. Maybe it's time for you to apply the Biblical laws of separation. They are not going to turn aside from this path. If your own church can't make a stand against them, you probably need a new church.

It's time to write off the liberal mainstream denominations. If enough people will leave them, they will be unable to support their properties and pension funds. Their churches will be up for sale. Some individual congregations need to get tough with their apostate leadership. If enough of them would do this, there still might be something that could be salvaged from these once Christian churches.

It's up to the membership now. The leadership is betting that they can put the radicals into the pulpits and overthrow Christian teaching entirely. They're betting that you and others will just stay and continue to support them while making a certain amount of protest for a while.
