Here is my dilemma. Our parish remains steadfastly orthodox. I'm on the vestry, serving as treasurer and a lector. Our rector and Bishop have faithfully ministered to our family for years. My kids are 6 and 11 and our church family has always been here.

I see the larger picture and it causes me great pain, but for my family these issues are vague and far away. Do I remain faithful to my local family or break these relationships over "larger" concerns?

I admire people who don't throw in the towel and are willing to fight the battle. At my particular former church, I was never that fond of besides it being two blocks from my home. Okay I admit, I am lazy and don't like to drive, but I think I learned my lesson

Very hard call, Moose! But I know your bishop; for the time being, at the very least, I would stay in the ranks with your parish and diocese, and wait to see what happens.
