Good grief. I happen to be a former Jew who converted to ECUSA just seven years ago. Do you think I would have done so had I found "anti-Jewish" sentiments in the New Testament???

This is nothing but a placement of the camel's note under the tent. If Scripture can be disregarded or marginalized because it is "anti-semitic," it's a small leap to disregard and marginalize the sections of Scripture that speak against homosexuality, divorce, and other sins. It's appalling that the delegates to this Convention were so dumb to fall for this!

This is all so distressing. An Episcopal church brought me to Christ, but I cannot countenance what this Church is doing now. It is rapidly losing its right to even call itself a Church, in my opinion.

I think that you hit the nail on the head - exactly my thoughts.

That step has already been taken my brother: Bishop Spong On GC2006

Oh, dear. I am so sorry that you're enduring this.

We were in a very liberal ECUSA diocese, couldn't stand it any more, became Catholic (we were very "high church".) And I was sixth-generation Episcopal/Anglican, it was a big decision to leave. But the leadership has gone stark staring mad.

For a long time the loons at 815 didn't affect the folks in the pews, you could sit in your own conservative/orthodox parish and ignore the national church, but those days are over. The national church controls the seminaries, so once an orthodox rector retires, you're done. That's what happened to our former parish.

But we're very glad we crossed the Tiber. The more I read and learn about the Catholic church, the more I wish we had made this move long ago.

Might I suggest you visit the following site, and read the author's conversion story. Like you, he is a former Jew who spent several years wandering the 'christian diaspora' before coming home. Enjoy!

Yes.
