Remember when the libs said stuff like this was "never going to happen"? Ideas do have consequences and I'm surprised that liberal theologians haven't been more vocal in supporting it.

The whole thing is ridiculous. Our government is stupid. Marriage is one man, one woman...and everything else is people doing anything they want to do.

I’m having a hard time discerning whether it’s

arrogance,
ignorance,
or
deceit

that makes a liberal think or tell us they can re-define something and have redefinition stop there.

I have no problem with people contracting a relationship as long as the contract is in accordance with applicable laws of the relevant jurisdiction. That means of course a clear procedure for breaking the contract, that is divorce in most cases although I suppose annulment and separation might also apply.
As for the holy sacrament of marriage, churches differ on rules about this. Since I am free to pick my church, I can associate where and with whom I share common belief.
The question of what government finds worthy of a contract is for the people through their representatives to decide as modified by a judiciary which has forgotten it's constitutional role, but that's another story. The question of whether a relationship meets the threshold of marriage is for the clergy and perhaps God, if he has a preference, to decide.

At least these weirdos didn’t wait for the state’s permission. To my understanding the Episcopalians won’t marry anyone unless the state they are in pats them on the head and says it’s OK, even if they actually believe ‘gay marriage’ or whatever other impossibility is the current trendy marriage combo is theologically possible.

The threesome a church should embrace is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

If a church's focus starts there and stays there, it should do well.

If not, it's not the sort of church where you would find what you need.

When it comes to the Episcopal Church, it is not a matter of “should they” but “How soon will they”.

Have a man marry them all and call it good. It’ll make the Muzzies in the UK happy.

The UK keeps leading the West into the abyss of death and destruction. When will the insanity end?

For all intents and purposes, the liberal Episcopal church (as well as the CofE) is not only no longer Anglican, it barely passes muster as Christian, but only because they have not yet voted on whether God exists, which in their “wisdom” they would probably find against.

Seriously, from the moment the Archbishop of Canterbury became a Druid High Priest, he ceased being Christian.

Likewise, with the appointment of the practicing sodomite Gene Robinson as a bishop, the Episcopal Church, USA, left the realm of Judeo-Christianity and became just another snake cult, like the other trendy schismatic faiths in the US.

Why don’t they go all in and embrace the DEVIL?

After all if the scriptures treat the HOMO’s unfairly, stands to reason of humanist thinking the devil is treated unfairly to.

Why shouldn’t they recognize them? They recognize other forms of depravity.
