I grew up as an Episcopalian before becoming a Catholic in college, and I take no pleasure in seeing what is happening in my former Church. I left because I concluded that the Anglican Church was not the one, true, Catholic, and apostolic Church mentioned in the creed. But I got a great deal from my years in that church. It was basically sound and decent.

Developments since then have been wretched. A friend of mine who was an episcopal priest was kicked out by his bishop in Connecticut about ten years ago for refusing to say that gay sex was OK.

I have met Bishop Griswold, the current head of the church in America, who has been behind a lot of this unChristian activity, including the appointment of the gay bishop in New Hampshire. He seemed impressive enough, and he presided over a beautiful service, but evidently his heart is rotten. What a shame, that churches built up over the years through the generosity of decent Christians are now being appropriated by these leftist destroyers. What will happen to the children who grow up in such a church? I trust God will lead them to something better.

I believe that's a prayer God will both hear and answer:

Jeremiah 3:15 Then I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will lead you with knowledge and understanding.

Homosexual perverts are fully intent on destroying any and all opposition to their disgusting lifestyle. They have wreaked havoc with the Boy Scouts, Christians, politics, and business. The pederasts are intent on having their way with your kids too. In a hundred and fifty years people will look back on this time in history with disgust just like we do today with the slavery issue.

I was raised a good Episcopalian, still am. Thats why I'm agnostic.

For now, and as a cradle Episcopalian, I'm staying in ECUSA as a traditional and conservative witness to the hash the irreligious leftists & homosexuals are making of the Church. When, as a delegate to diocesan convention for election of a new bishop, my credentials became known, my "tolerant, open, and inclusive" fellow delegates from the parish (including the Rector) began giving me the cold shoulder. Am also on the Vestry, and I relish being the skunk at the garden party.
