May God bless your new congregation.You have done the right thing.
And for those posting, what about the building? The church is people and not the building. Most denominations determine what is the official "position" of the church. So if you disagree you have to leave their ball field.
In this case. They may have the field, but I feel this congregation won the ballgame.
I suspect this will happen in Episcopal churches all across America. And it will come to a denomination near you in the near future.
That sounds Biblical! I was talking with a Baptist acquaintance yesterday. She and her husband attend an 8:15 a.m. "traditional" service at their Baptist church! The later two services are "contemporary." So, the folks that like old time religion are being marginalized within their own churches. Most mainline Protestant denominations are putting more emphasis on liberal politics, too.
