we are not literalists or fundamentalists. We never have been, for if we were women would still be wearing hats, and be unable to speak in church, serve on vestries, and certainly they could not be ordained. Remarriage after divorce would be considered adultery, and Christians could not charge other Christians interest on loans. And, so on. The sum of it all is that we do not proof text the Bible, nor do we take every word or direction literally for our time.

Yes. There's the root cause of your problem, especially the last three words. It was only a matter of time before you ordained sodomites. Heaven only knows what's next.

ECUSA is at least heretical. One could make a good argument that they are actually apostate. Is there anyone who can name a single article of faith that they feel ECUSA with absolute certainty will adhere to 10 years from now? Is there a single article of faith that one must adhere to now in order to receive communion in their church? The Protestant Episcopal Church is nothing more than high church unitarianism. I have even heard reports that some priests have started baptizing in the name of Mother Redeemer and Holy Spirit or some other absurd formula that is totally invalid!
