In the name of all that is Holy, why would you do something like that? If you can't find enough like-minded folks to join you and plant your own orthodox Anglican parish affiliated with the AMiA or some other continuing Anglican Province, then search out an existing one within commuting distance. In case you've not been listening, the Lutherans, Methodists, Presbyterians, and just about every other mainline denomination, are all playing patta-cake with the homosexual lobby and will eventually find themselves in exactly the same state as ECUSA. You've been "listening" to this crap for the last 20 years...there's probably another 10 years of "listening" before these other mainliners get to where ECUSA is today. Is that what you really want - another 10 years of fence-sitting and keeping your mouth shut so that no one accuses you of being homophobic?

Your passion is very refreshing and quite nice, Torqemada.

There's not much I can say in response except maybe I've been caught up in choosing between lifelong tradition and my desire to hear the word of God in Church rather than politics and pc commentary from the pulpit.

If you're at the "high" end of the spectrum, may I suggest inquiring into your local Catholic parish and diocese? Our transition from ECUSA to the Catholic Church was quite painless.

We are fortunate here to have a completely orthodox archbishop who is not shy about laying down the law on homosexual marriage, pro-abort politicians taking Communion, etc. etc. and an old-fashioned Irish dreadnought priest with no biggod nonsense about him.

Of course, if you're unfortunate enough to be in a parish that's been taken over by the Kum-by-yah crowd or the short-haired "nuns", it's a different story. So you have to check.

Lutherans are not playing "patta-cake" with the homo lobby. While there are heretics who might claim to be Lutheran, they do not represent the orthodox church of believers.
