"If, however, we are conscious of our solidarity with the Church beyond the grave..."

Excellent commentary. The problem with the ECUSA leadership is that first they have denied Scripture, then they have denied tradition (especially as described by Chesterton in murphE's comment, and finally they have denied reason which, I believe, also argues against homosexual relations as a good for either individuals or society.

In our parish class which examined the Windsor Report we actually had a woman ask the question regarding the Anglican Communion's position, 'What do we care what they think?" Clearly this woman, a cradle-Episcoplian, has been betrayed by a clerical hierarchy which has failed to educate her on who and what the Body of Christ really is.

The ECUSA leadership appears to care less for the rest of its own communion, the rest of the Christian Church in the world and certainly for those who have gone before us.

I have personally stayed the course, but if the ECUSA (including my diocese and parish) does not properly respond to the Primates' Communique, I will have no choice but to leave. I am not looking forward to that day, but I will not be surprised if it does not become necessary.
