Well, this 'eucharist' service is not new. It is very similar to what was given in 1993 at a "Re-Imaging" Conference of feminist Episcopalians, Methodists and Presbyterians. Another lovely thing that came out during that conference was the quote:
‘We don’t need guys hanging on crosses with blood dripping and all that weird stuff.’

The main difference today is that was a fringe group of liberal feminist apostates. This appears to have official church sanction.

Ref: Re-imagining Conference. Actually this was run by the Presbyterian Church USA. Only one or two Episcopalians went, and they travelled on their own ticket. ECUSA was not actively involved in that one because the Nat'l Church treasurer of the time refused to shell out any money for it.

As for hanging in there with the Lord Jesus Christ: no problem. And yes, ALL churches are dealing with the infiltration of the enemy in one way or another.

I really mean it when I say that I am convinced that "Judgement is upon us." Even if they do not realize it, people are choosing sides -- God or the enemy. The Lord Jesus Christ is preparing for Himself a Bride without spot or wrinkle which means that to be part of the Bride requires a lot of cleansing.

However, our relationship with God in and through Jesus Christ also requires relationships with one another within His Body, the Church. There have never been and cannot be any genuine "Free Lance" Christians.

I am a relationship of obedience to my bishop who is a genuinely committed, genuinely believing Christian shepherd. Without these structures our relationships have no accountability. The lack of accountability is what is at the root of all the chaos.

Only the Lord Himself can sort us out, correct, heal and make us His Bride.

His Hand will fall upon us. We can only put all our trust in Him.
