Inclusive Episcopalians Glad to Be Rid of Brothers and Sisters in Christ

Feel the love:

The atmosphere at Saturday's 164th convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Florida was palpably different from the meetings of the past three or four years.

Palpably better, said the Rev. Sandra Moyle, associate rector at St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Jacksonville.

Previously, she said, the annual sessions held to conduct diocesan business pitted those who wanted to remain Episcopalians against those who did not because of their denomination's "progressive" views on Scripture and homosexuality.

Now that those unhappy factions have quit the Episcopal Church USA and Bishop John Howard's Jacksonville-based diocese, the mood at the convention is noticeably upbeat and joyful, Moyle said.

"Three years ago we were focused on what was dividing us; now we're focused on what's uniting us," she said.

"Three years ago we were focused on what was dividing us; now we're focused on what's uniting us," she said.

Yeah, those sticklers for traditional doctrine can be a real pain in the tookus Sandra.

Guess what, Sandra! Now that you've gotten rid of those "troublesome people", your "church" is really a CLUB, and it's in deep, deep trouble!!!!
