One need not be a Christian to become a bishop.

Should be a pretty good politician, though.

If your church is even thinking about debating whether they should perform/acknowledge homosexual "marriage," it's already gone way off the deep-end.

John Shelby Spong recently retired as bishop of New Jersey. For his whole ecclesiastical career, he wrote and preached against every tenet of the Christian faith. Bishop Spong, author of Why Christianity Must Change or Die, did not believe in the virgin birth, the doctrine of the incarnation, the deity of Christ, the resurrection, or the existence of God.

Among other things, this would make Spong a thief ... taking money given to build up the church to instead destroy the chruch.

I don't understand why a Christian would place himself under the authority of an anti-Christ unconcious (or conscious) Satanist like this. The mainstream churches must have some snappy liturgies to entice members to stay on and financially support the destruction of their faith.

Episcopal Church Appoints First Openly-Muslim Bishop
(2003-08-04) -- Bishops in the Episcopal Church today approved the election of the first openly-Muslim bishop in the church's history.

The Islamic cleric, who rejects the deity of Jesus Christ, received an overwhelming majority of the vote.

A spokesman for the Episcopal Church said the move demonstrates, "Our church is open to all people, regardless of their beliefs, or whether they accept the teachings of the Bible."

The election of the Muslim bishop comes as the church stands ready to approve its first homosexual Bishop, V. Gene Robinson. Later today, the bishops plan to vote on the election of the church's first openly-atheist bishop.

And people try to say that homosexuality and pedophilia are not linked. Whatever! Sigh....what a shame.

"Heresy is even more harmful to a church than homosexuality."

Call it what it is, heresy. Will history record the Episcopalian Heresy of the 20th Century?

Actually, this has been true for centuries.

A pretty good article.
