Excellent. Homosexuality is an abomination. Here's to the brave voices who are willing to stand by scripture.

I did research today and left a message for an Anglican Priest....he called me back this evening and after speaking to him I have hope. He told me they left the Episcopal Church years ago, after seeing the direction they were going.
I am very hopeful and am going for a visit this Sunday.

Bravo to Steven Randall. Maybe many more will follow his lead.

I'm sure the African prelates will continue to adopt these congregations.

We can all help him by supporting his philosophy, Episcopalians who agree ... all join forces and refuse to give money to the bishops ... stand up and be counted!! Do not leave your churches with out a fight!!!

Good for him.
One of the greatest sins is to cause another's foot to stumble. If that doesn't describe the potential of an openly "Gay" Bishop working with a confused young man or woman, I don't know what does.
This is absolutely nuts. A practicing homosexual cannot be allowed to council people on these issues. The leaders who voted to make Robinson a Bishop will have some 'splainin' to do.

Praise God for these "men of another sort". Men who will not compromise the word of God to keep their jobs, their popularity etc. May a lot more like them begin to rise up in these days. They are sorely needed.

"There are things in the Bible that are not up for a vote,"
Amen! This church is less than a mile from my house in Plano, Texas (bedroom community north of Dallas, home to EDS, JCPenney and Frito Lay) - and I am glad to see this pastor standing up for the truth.

A friend of ours was booted out of the Episcopal Church by his bishop and subsequently became a priest in something called the Evangelical Episcopal Church. His offense was basically refusing to toe the politically correct line on certain feminist and homosexual issues.
Earlier, he got in big trouble up in Maine when he read the passage from Paul on marriage and neglected to omit the verse about wives obeying their husbands. It took him years to live it down. Tough times for orthodox priests in the Episcopal Church.

I guess I miss your point...are you trying to be amusing or just insulting?

"When GOD closes a door -- HE opens a window. How very true...the effort to break all moral bonds with the belief in God, or some power, is the work of the left/communism through social engineering in this country. Now the Episcopal Church with its progressive doctrines has fallen into truly bad company, the Church of England and together they have thrown the baby out with the bath water. Since they no longer serve God, whom do they serve?
2020 is a movement in the Episcopal Church toward embracing fully the stated mission of the church: "to restore all people to unity with God and each other in Christ" (BCP p.855) and toward accepting the Great Commission: "Go therefore and make all nations my disciples" (Mt. 28:19). The goal that General Convention adopted in July 2000 that would hold the Church accountable to the movement is that by 2020 the Episcopal Church will have restored and discipled twice as many people as we can claim today.
"The Book of Common Prayer is one of the major works of English literature. Since its introduction in the mid-1500's it has exerted enormous influence on the religious and literary lives of all who speak the English language. The Book of Common Prayer has gone through a number of editions, not only in England where it originated, but in all the places where the various Churches of the Anglican communion are now active"
The prayers are truly beautiful but they were written by men who were breaking away from the Roman Church for reasons other than faith. Now in order to gain a wider, more modern congregation, these teachers have decided the Bible and word of God, have little place in their vision of Modern Christianity. Read Paul; read Deuteronomy for starters; Gods well deserved fear of what some of his children might do with their bodies for pleasure seems to have been over looked by the politically correct Episcopal Church; it would appear they condone sins of the flesh. IMHO, I dont believe the Lord was ever politically correct certainly not by todays meaning.
