Okay, if your bishop has sided with the apostate ecusa leadership then it's up to *you* the parishoners to take appropriate action. If you have not already done so, the first thing you need to do is organize - find out exactly how many there are who are willing to do whatever it takes to remain orthodox Anglican Episcopalians. From your post I can't tell if any of the clergy or senior leadership in your parish are part of those who are angry and frustrated or not. If so, then they need to start talking to either the AAC or Forward in Faith *immediately*. If not then those of you who are thus left leaderless need to be communicating with AAC or FIF as a group on your own.

An apostate and/or heretical bishop has by definition given up all of his legitimate episcopal authority. He will prove this to you by refusing to discuss Holy Scripture and instead resort to citing Canon Law in his threats to your parish. Because he has no real spiritual authority, and in fact is attempting to coerce your parish into apostasy and heresy it is entirely within your Christian duties to circumvent his attacks and work to maintain the Biblical orthodoxy of your parish.

In any case, I'd strongly advise you to start networking with others in your parish, and once you've got a group of folks together (preferably led by your clergy, but if that's not possible, then choose a mature Christian lay leaders) and prepare for what comes next; since you obviously will not be able to stay where you are currently once the open persecution of Biblically orthodox Episcopalians begins in earnest. If you need help finding please don't hesitate to freepmail me about this. Also check out Eala's Anglican resource page as noted in my tagline.

The time to act is now.
