I will now explain the Episcopal Church: Priests think the laity should obey them. but they do not see any obligation of obedience to their rectors. Rectors think their associate clergy should obey them, but they should not have to obey their bishops. Bishops think the Diocese should obey them, but they do not have to conform to Sxripture, tradition, or reason, or to the commitments they make when assembled as the House of Bishops.

Further, in general, Bishops don't care much about what is taught in their dioceses or how folks worship. But they are all over their title to the real estate and bank accounts. Oaths sworn to follow the doctrine, discipline, and worship of the Episcopal Church are intrinsically meaningless -- except insofar as they touch on who owns the property.

And that, folks, is where it's at

Who, me? Bitter?

What this congregation needs is a really good lawyer and they should sue this bishop's butt off. Seizing their financial records and hacking into their computer stinks.

What has happened to tolerance? Our society does not know the real meaning of this word.It means to put up with something that is undesirable. Need I say more!

The Anglican Church cannot help but to fall apart. It was founded by King Henry VI, who was an infidel and needed a new church so he could marry again. He was the seed of the Reformation. There a lots of good people in the church but they are needing to look elsewhere for leadership. The Devil is destroying it from within and without.
