He isn't a coward for what he thinks. He's a coward for "pretending" to be a priest in the Anglican faith just to stay employed.

I said what I thought he should do. I merely point out that not everyone responds to their intellectual conclusions the "proper" way.

If a person doesn't believe in the virgin birth they shouldn't be clergy I guess. But I suspect that very few denominations would have adequate clergy if every single tenet of their denomination had to believed heart and soul by those who are otherwise Christian. It's a difficult question and I doubt that many could pass the test in thier own minds. Better to live a lie until you can make other arrangements I suppose.

It is no surprise that the anglicans beleive that way.The anglican/episcopal church has gone too far from their traditional beliefs. Queers and women as priests. No more book of common prayer,pander to every leftist idea that comes along.
