These people are not Christians
"Re-imagin[ing] Christianity as Buddhism", eh?
In the Christian East we have a fair bit of respect for the non-pagan religions of the Far East. The Buddha got a lot of things right (and what he got wrong weren't his own insights, but leftovers from pagan Hinduism he didn't manage to see through), but hesychasm, with the light of the Gospel, surpasses his insights. Taoism did even better (cf. Fr. Damascene's Christ the Eternal Tao). Fr. Seraphim Rose commented that Zen Buddhism (the fusion of the two) was the highest form of philosophy to which man could attain without Divine Revelation.
Still, their 'reimagining' is a huge step backwards--unless they manage to follow Fr. Damascene's path through the non-Christian East to the Christian East. All things are possible with God, but I don't expect to find a pack of repentent liberal Epscopalian clerics following the traditionalists they drove out any time soon, not even after a sojourn as 'Buddhists with vestments'.
On a lighter note, this story brings to mind the old joke about the Anglo-Catholic hold-out, doggedly sticking to his old PECUSA parish, turning to his wife as a statue of the Buddha is carried down the center of the nave, and say, "So help me, one more thing like this, and we're out of here!"
"Don't cry for me, Angelinos!"
Desperately misunderstanding the request to pray for the souls in limbo...
