There are a couple of threads out on the topic, here and here.

As this affair shows, your apparent perception that Episcopalians are all a bunch of liberals is not entirely accurate, though it is alas all too common.

What's really interesting to me is the possible implications of Bp. Duncan's actions.

dude- i know the Episcopalians are not as lib as some other Protestant sects, but I think they are big on the whole gay issue, right? I never said they are all a bunch of liberals.

The battle between Bishop Duncan and Bishop Bennison is fascinating - as is the potential for an ecclesiastical court challenge.

Unfortunately however, the overall Anglican Communion leadership has drifted so far to the left since the schisms in the 70's that I doubt they can recover until the current generation of Bishops has passed on.

This is really no different than what's happened to our universities - the 60's radicals are all now tenured professors and administrators.
