"The main reason I joined the Episcopal Church is because it allows people to have personal interpretations and is open to new ideas," said Justin Tisdale, 28.

Tisdale, who was has been attending Calvary Episcopal Church for five years, converted from the Seventh Day Adventist Church because he found it too conservative.

"It wasn't accepting of homosexuals," Tisdale said. "Now, I'm free to express my beliefs and to ask questions."

I'm sure that this fine example of enlightened thinking also views the Bible as a historical document and that picking and choosing what sins he wishes to flaunt and which ones he wants to adhere to are part of the church doctrine.

I'll stick to the churches I attend, where sins are defined, and are not up for intrepretation.

These are no longer churches. In rejecting the clear teachings from God-breathed scripture, they have become social gathering places for those who would choose to follow perversion. Might as well put up neon signs declaring themselves as Gay Bars!
