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?
(. . . but I'll note that I was amazed at the sacramental nature and effect of confession! The Episcopal Church permits auricular confession, but I don't believe recognizes it as a sacrament . . . . it's for real!)
