How DO these Christians talk past that unless they just flat-out DENY Scripture?
If they flat-out deny Scripture with all the P.C. garbage in the world, that is, acceptance and tolerance of SINFUL behavior, how CAN they be priests and bishops in a faith that alligns itself with Jesus Christ?
HOW can Episcopalians tolerate this? Where is the revolt beyond words on a page, speaking with the feet and prayers?
Truth be known, I don't know what I would do. I wouldn't tolerate it, though.
Im not berating anyone here, in any way, shape or form....just venting my own growing, knotted-stomach frustration.
As AnAmericanMother pointed out recently, most are probably at best dimply aware of this. What happens outside their parish rarely gets reported in. If it did, you would see the revolt, and there are those who are trying to make this happen.
But what has happened generally, over the past 30 years or so, is that outside of a small mass departure ca 1980 (denounced from many pulpits) there has been a slow departure of individuals and families over the years. (My own time came 23 years ago when I left ECUSA for the APCK; the last of my family left ECUSA last year.)
