This only shows how widespread the problem is. The Battle of ECUSA is just the first in what promises to be a larger campaign of destruction by the revisionists. If we let them win in American Anglicanism, then they will move on to the next denomination, and the next, and the next. By standing up to them, we slow down their advance, expose them for what they really are, and encourage the faithful in other denominations to stand firm. Already the Evangelical Lutheran Church and the United Methodist Church have seen what is happening in ECUSA and taken a few steps back from following suit.
The truly harsh reality is that the Far Left has infiltrated the Churches in the US. Why? Churches are a major factor in shaping the culture. Feminism/Socialism/Communism realized that if they changed the culture the media, Academia, and the Legal framework would also change. They have succeeded. We have the ACLU now defending NAMBLA and their attempts to gain sexual access to our children and Grandchildren. We have the Girl Scouts that is one third leadership of FemNags and Lesbians. Make no mistake about it the Lesbians are there to recruit tender young girls to the joys of Sapphic love.
This is how sick and debased our culture is. The YWCA appointed a couple of years ago Patricia Smeal former head of the FemNags at NOW to their President. Then after the outcry uncerimonously kicked her to the curb. Makes you feel good about by Girl Scout Cookies huh? Wonder if the funds will go to their Lesbian conferences?
Also by infilitrating the Churches they gave their lifestyles a veneer of credibility and respectability. This while having seminars on Fisting and other wonderful practices. By debasing the Churches they were able to change the moral direction of the country. The San Diego Union posted an article in the last few days saying it is the young Women who are leading the "Raunch Culture" of sexual degredation.
We now have "Rainbow Parties" were teens and preteen girls put on colored lipstick each girl a different color. Then leave that on the boys male organs after having oral Sex. This apparently is encouraged in some places to prevent pregnancy. I guess Oral Sex is not sex in some quarters especially in the Clinton Administration. Now that mindset has spread to our young people.
Thank you, all, for your comments.
I've learned a lot from them.
I grew up in the Southern Baptist Church.
I was taught not just our beliefs, but about the beliefs of others...
Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, even Buddhism, and Taoism.
But, I wasn't taught about other Baptists.
I didn't know they existed until I was an adult.
Maybe they wanted to pretend they didn't exist. ;o)
I know liberal Roman Catholics who oppose the way that their bishop has disciplined or dismissed popular gaysbian-supporting priests. They sound as if they are ready to bolt to the Episcopal church, at a time when many orthodox Episcopalians (and Lutherans) are considering becoming Roman Catholic. To those liberal Roman Catholics I say, "out of the frying pan, into the fire!!!!"
Perhaps the Southern Baptist Convention will soon have a number of new church members.
Nothing like forgetting your sarcasm tag.
But actually, you are right. There is nothing like it, and I love it. If the leaders get it wrong, as they often do, you don't have to go along with it.
They were actually Particular Baptists, and most Baptists don't consider this as proper Baptist beliefs at all. ;-)
How about we just say any denomination that belongs to the National Council of "Churches" has its problems.
