Anyone who believes this controversy is just 3 years old has a very shallow understanding of what is going on--and the fact that this struggle is generations old.
The very title ("Rift over sexuality, gender could split Episcopal Church") shows this reporter to be biased, and ignorant (willfully or not...) that this issue is the authority of scripture, not sex.
The fact Ms. Kaplan ends the article with a quote about exclusion and the love of Jesus betrays her serious bias.
Why does the devil need a church building? He can operate just as well without one.
