Traditional Anglican ping, continued in memory of its founder Arlin Adams. The audacity of this false priestess is staggering!
Silly woman.
Yeah, it's unfortunate. Her election, along with my concerns about my local minister, finally convinced me that I have to leave the Episcopal church, and go where people believe in both God and the Bible. For me, that seems to be the Catholics. It makes me very sad, because I don't think I'll ever be able to take communion in the Catholic church, but I'll just live with that. It's my cross-- I'll pick it up, and He will help me carry it.
TEC as an organization will be viable enough, thanks to the looting of generations of the devout. But like a wild animal feeding off the carcasses of its parents, TEC will never be anything close to a Christian communion. Atheistic secular humanists like Jefferts Schori have a place, but it is not in the corridors of power of the church.
I like the graphic depiction of the "instruments of unity"!

Staying away from communion is a very serious matter. Why not simply convert?
I don't think so. If they're smart and cut off the greater losses, yes... but there will be a loss of "prestige" in doing so. They could live a long time on what they've captured, but only by admission of what they've lost.
My guess: TEC runs out about the time the current "ownership" expects to pass on.
Only "silly" if she hadn't such (self-destructive) power.

She and her fellow travelers, sob sisters, limp wrists and lickspittles can't destroy the Church. Heresiarchs have been around from the begining and they all fail eventually. 'Course in the old days, The Church had better ways to deal with them; in the West, the auto da fe and the stake, in the East, usually a trial, eyes dug out, tongue cut off and exile to a monastery. But those days, sadly, are gone! Sigh!
Go faithfully where you are led. Obstacles that appear insurmountable may not be. There are people willing, even anxious, to help you.
This article emphasizes the disputes within TEC over the "gay" issue. However, there is also the feminizing of God, the voting down even of the first Christian creed, "Jesus is Lord", and the substitution of the NWO/Millennium Goals agenda for the true Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Jefferts-Schori is so heretical that even her heresies have heresies. It's time for all good Anglicans--and Lutherans--to run far, far away from her before she explodes!!!!

There are alternatives. :)
In another age, they would set a match to her, and they would be right ;-)
Good note, because she is an ELCA Lutheran bishop, too, by agreement, with rights in the ELCA.
She is not silly, she is dead serious. I am weeping.....
You're correct...a good example of the oncomong implosion is the Diocese of Newark. They are expected to close some 40+ parishes within a a year. But what they are doing is consolidating them into some of the larger churches, the older ones that seat near 1000, that were built 70-80 years ago, at the apex of TEC. These buildings are cost afortune to run, heat, and are literally falling down, and will require enormous sums to make them suitable for use, let alone safe...and the diocese will have to front the cost...
Could be the common problem of divorce/re-marriage. This affects many potential converts.
There are other options. Look for orthodox/conservative anglican churches in your area.
