The Church of England needs to close the doors and sell the real estate. It has capitulated to every single insane, leftist idea that it has encountered. A great and beloved denomination is trying to be “The Church of What's Happening Now,” sort of a GLBTQ clubhouse. Coddling the “Occupy” idiots is just another chance for the Church of England to show how tolerant and inclusive they are—with leftists and anarchists, of course. Sadly, I am Anglican.

:Nodding in agreement: There are probably more smelly protestors outside that Cathedral on a bad day than there are godly Christians inside on a good one. The Church of England is dying, and its leaders have no one to blame but themselves.

Just so. I was brought up as a High Church Anglican in America, and converted to Catholicism in college.

I will always be grateful for all that the Episcopal Church gave me over the years, and sad to see the growing abuses. As I have been saddened by the abuses in the Catholic Church.

In fact, I have a good friend, who was an Episcopal minister, who was kicked out of the Episcopal Church in Connecticut by his bishop some years ago for refusing to preach that gay activities are good. He wasn’t attacking anyone, just refusing to preach sermons according to the Party Line.

He is now pastor of something called an Evangelical Episcopal Church in Connecticut. Basically high church Episcopalian, but beyond the reach of the bishop. His parish has done very well.
