I know that even the bishops in Texas who are not Network are sympathetic, so you are much better off than we are here in the ECUSA Diocese of Atlanta, which (given that most of the Piskies are concentrated in urban and suburban Atlanta Metro) is overwhelmingly liberal. The bishop here is utterly in cahoots with the national church leadership. He has run one of the few remaining orthodox parishes out of existence, and another is hanging by a thread. He also went after an orthodox church and took their buildings.
Ugly, ugly, ugly. I am so glad we got out before the persecutions started.
You might inquire where your pledge is going, and if any of it is being used to sue orthodox Episcopalians and take their church buildings and graveyards . . . .
Most of the parishioners here have checked the box on their pledge cards that says not to send any portion of their pledges to the National Church. We do have a couple of people that get incensed over the idea that gays and lesbians are treated unfairly, but I’ve made my position clear to them, and I think they understand: That I welcome anyone into our flock and will support them in their quest for adherence to Scripture; but I will not take communion from a priest who does not so adhere.
Our bishop that recently retired was very orthodox and Scripture-oriented, and his replacement is also. As it happens, our current priest is a tad on the liberal side, but he’s adamantly opposed to the position of the National Church and also very Scripture-oriented.
Given the makeup of this Diocese, I may never make it to a confession booth. But again, things change with amazing speed these days, so who knows?
