Form your own conclusions.

My conclusion is that the Episcopalians no longer qualify as a 'Christian' denomination.

My conclusion is that the leadership is greasing the skids for a formal split. They have a fund established to protect the corporation from losing their grip on congregational property.

This is a good move by the Episcopals. It will certainly help to clear up these pesky conflicts they keep having between their views and Christianity.

As an active Episcopalian, it doesn't surprise me...the church is founded upon tradition and reason and many members believed that those who have not known Jesus can still be saved.

If I were an active Episcopalian, I'd be running for the hills to find a new denomination.

The Reformed and Lutheran churches will welcome our new members from fleeing Episcopalians...as will the Catholic Church

"If we cannot affirm the unique salvific power of Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we are no longer a Christian church." Switching to a sarcastic tone, Howell declared, "We have no need for a Creed. Why do again what we did in the past?" "This clearly shows that we are of a mind that does not affirm Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. And we should not be surprised that our church is dying spiritually," said Howell.

I can't believe I grew up in that denomination.

Form your own conclusions. I don't have to form "my own" opinion. They are apostates. They are accursed.

There is no other conclusion to draw.
To: MountainMenace
Well, since that phrase comes directly from the Bible, would that imply that they do not belive the Bible?
