Another word for Episcopalian is Anglican. Probably over 85% of Anglicans world-wide can be categorized as conservative evangelical...so conservative they won't sanction women priests. Only the American, English, and other Western Anglicans (like all other main-line churches...even some Baptists (gasp!)) have liberal leadership. This is why the American Episcopalian's leadership's apostasy is such a scandal--worldwide.

Most of the 1/3 of the Episcopalians who've left their church in the last 30 years or so, didn't leave their Episcopalian convictions--their church left them... I would wager that a sizeable minority, if not a majority, of regular Episcopal church-goers today too, do NOT approve of their leadership on the homosexual issue either. They are so conservative though, they are loath to leave the church of their childhood...and of their ancestors too.

I sort of thought that those who have left have gone to catholic churches where they remain more conservative and the religions are very similar?
Why can't the flock fire the liberals?
