He still has to be approved by the Diocesan Standing Committees and Bishops of the rest of the Episcopal Church. Which is probably likely.

Assuming he's approved, will the parts of the Anglican Communion that actually believe in the Bible - Africa, Asia and South America - stand for this? Time will tell.

Soon Episcopal Churches will be empty only kept going by old Foundation Money. They claim 2 Million. I would postulate there are less than 1 million people going to Episcopal Churches on any given Sunday.

If confirmed, he will not be the first homosexual bishop. In fact, he will probably not be the only serving homosexual bishop. He will, however, be the first acknowledged, opening practicing homosexual bishop. And one who abandoned his wife and children to boot.

What this says about the Episcopal Church of the United States is profound. It has been for some time a church that has abandoned the beliefs, doctrine, creed, and liturgy of its tradition. It has embraced secular humanism and moral relativism. It has abandoned God. I doubt that a majority of its clergy believe that there is a God. Certainly the bishops don't. This is why many, including myself have walked away. The institution will hang on because of the property that it owns and its endowments - but it is already dead as a House of God.

There's been a movement for many years to start a more biblically-oriented Anglican church in the US. How ironic if it happens as a result of the Episcopalians being tossed out of the Anglican communion!
