I suppose they could become Catholics if they are Anglo-Catholic, or an evangelical church if in the low church tradition. But if they want to form a denomination in the Anglican tradition recognized by the worldwide Anglican communion as the representative of Anglicanism in the United States, conservative bishops, priests, and laity must act boldly and quickly. "Blest be the tie that binds" may be a nice old hymn, but it is not always sound advice.

Me too - in the Catholic church and very happy, should have made the move long ago.

So, when are REAL American and Canadian Anglicans going to contact the church leaders and request that those who believe in the church teachings be allowed to commune and those who don't can stay outside?

Have you considered becoming a Missouri Synod Lutheran instead of ECLA?

Not a problem. We wrangled all that out with Monsignor when we joined up. The only matters we differed on were the validity of Anglican Orders and the supremacy of the Bishop of Rome, and we were happy to relinquish those points (especially since the Orders have sort of proved their invalidity - by their fruits shall ye know them, and it's obvious that Adult Leadership is necessary).

My great-nephew left the Episcopal Church and joined the Eastern Orthodox Church and his wife left the Roman Catholic and they are quite glad they did. They wanted to be attending the same Church for many reasons.
Her sister and brother-in-law, who have been upset over the sex scandals in the Roman Catholic Church, are scheduled to start classes in oredr to join the Orthodox Church as well.
I was told that the Priest where they are going to start classes left the Episcopal Church a few years ago and became an Eastern Orthodox priest. I gather that married Episcopal priests becoming E.O. clergy has happened many times in the past few years.
I must admit that that surprised me, but, my nephew says the Orthodox Church welcomes married clergy openly and in fact, encourages marriage among the clergy.

So long as you don't want to be a bishop.
I don't have any problem with the Orthodox Church and I wish them well. I hope that the efforts for a rapprochement on some level with the Catholics work out.
It's not for me, though. Purely a personal and gut level choice. Besides, as ultra-high-church Episcopalians we were Practically Catholic already.

and the supremacy of the Bishop of RomeThat's simple.
That Benedict IS Peter is not simple.
How did you get past that?

Apostolic Succession, which we believed in anyhow (I told you we were high church).

We had read those documents already, it was just a matter of being willing to adopt the other view. Which is actually sometimes sort of funny . . . we were in the choir rehearsal room, and somehow Guy Fawkes came up (I think the Fifth of November was upon us). We were talking about it, and suddenly a light bulb went on in my head, and I exclaimed, "Hey! I get to cheer for the other side now!"
I always felt (with Sir Iain Moncrieffe) that I shared Mr. Fawkes's views about the value of Parliament . . .

I'm considering what someone else on this thread said: Join the Catholic Church. They may have had some terrible incidents in their recent past, but they're not promoting it like Griswold and others are.I'm convinced that one of the reasons the Globe went after Cardinal Law so completely is because they perceived him to be the greatest threat to their plans to bring homosexual 'marriage' to MA. They figured that if they could destroy the credibility of the Catholic Church in MA, that they would have clear sailing. They're finding that wasn't the case. It was plenty more than just Catholics that were horrified by the Supreme Judicial Court's ruling, and Catholics as well as other Christian denominations and some Jewish groups have organized against it.
Pope Benedict XVI will be forceful in preaching the Church's teachings against homosexual activity in general and 'marriage' in particular. This is why homosexual activists save their most vile ire for the Catholic Church.

They are there, they just haven't gotten the same press as the Catholic Church in America.

Not a single individual at the core of this problem gives a damn about the Church itself; they are only interested in justification of their personal choicesYes indeed. homosexuality is of course an extreme form of narcissism, so naturally it is all about ME!!!
To: Sergio
So I guess that since abortion is legal in all 50 states, that the church should also get on board and say that it's now OK to have one in the eyes of God.According to the UCC God is just fine with abortions.

Did he really? I knew he spoke to planned parenthood, which is bad enough.

The ECUSA bigwigs will deny until the end of time that any resolution by the Anglican Communion (1) means what it says; (2) has any effect on them. They will continue in their destructive course. How is the ECUSA board elected? Any way to toss them out on their rumps?
