An overflow crowd of Episcopalians gathered at Virginia Theological Seminary last night and clashed with bishops and lay leaders of the Diocese of Virginia over the recent election of an openly homosexual bishop.

Hundreds of parishioners from around Northern Virginia, the most conservative part of the 86,527-member diocese, crammed into an auditorium at the Alexandria seminary.

Bishop Lee has indicated he may sue any of his 187 parishes that try to leave with its property.

True colors showing - there is a Scriptural prohibition regarding Christians sueing other Christians. Doesn't seem to matter to this bishop.

 "The members of Integrity will not abandon the Episcopal Church," she added.

We shall see what tune she sings in a few weeks. This will not stand. ECUSA is perhaps sufficiently far gone to go down this path, but the world Anglican community is NOT.

"How can you justify a statement saying sexual immorality is good and acceptable in New Hampshire, but not good in Virginia?" Mr. Harding asked. The audience began to laugh when he added: "Where geographically between New Hampshire and Virginia does a moral lifestyle transition to an immoral lifestyle?" Easy - when you completely disregard the Word and follow your own lusts and wants, and make God what you want Him to be. I hope these good folks realize it is Jesus they ahve their relationship with, not the Episcopal Church, or even their local congregation if things cannot be worked out.

My Episcopal Church LEFT the ECUSA over their pro-homosexual and pro-abortion (anti-Scripture) views.

We joined the Anglican Mission in America, a great renewal group seeking to bring American Anglicans BACK to the truth in Scripture.
