I still find it hard to believe that there are still Godly men and women in the Episcopalian church, trying to bail out water from a sinking ship.

There are. Bishop John-David Schofield, for example, of the Diocese of San Joaquin is one I know.

Agreeing with your premise - that both are godly men - if I had a face to face with them, I would encourage them to get off the sinking ship and go to another one where they didn't have to fight against the current.

It sounds like the ECUSA isn't going to repent of the sin of homosexuality in its leadership. If that's acceptable then the door's wide open to lots of other behaviors considered "tolerance" as opposed to calling it what it is - "sin".

The idea of a church taking pride in "tolerance" of sexual sin is dealt with nicely by Paul in 1 Corinthians. In that situation, there were 2 guilty parties - the actual offender and the accommodating church leadership. In the ECUSA's situation, neither see homosexuality and accommodation of it as sinful.

Take a cue from Paul and seek fellowship elsewhere. Homosexuality is not portrayed anywhere in Scripture in a positive light, and in the OT its punishment is proscribed as death. Being in a church where that type of sinful behavior is tolerated and accepted in leadership is bad news. Take a stand based on Scripture, not on what a group of compromised denomination officials are saying and doing.
