During my last year in the Anglican Church, the quickest way for me to be excoriated was to quote from the Old Testament, such a quaint document, and have people say to me condescendingly, "Well, aren't you precious for knowing those verses?"

This is the church that couldn't muster enough votes to affirm its own classical faith documents at the last General Convention. I left because it finally sunk into my brain that voting on doctrine is totally absurd.

I hope what you meant was, "During my last year in the EPISCOPAL Church..." and not Anglican in general. As a member of a continuing Anglican congregation that has nothing whatsoever to do with ECUSA, let me assure you that our position on abortion is no different than that of Rome. As far as I, personally, am concerned, the church I grew up in is dead. It's been a sad time for the faithful who have been forced out, but we will persevere.
