Don't understand how the Episcopal church can have a queer as a leader in the church when he is living in sin, totally against the teachings of the Bible. How can any of them that support homosexuality, whether it be leadership and laymen, profess to teach the word of God and be believed? What is it--"do as I say and not as I do" type of philosophy? They're going to rewrite biblical teachings handed down through the centuries to acknowledge smooth over their sins. The word of God is as good today as it was when it was written centuries ago by inspired-word-of-God people.

Because they don't believe in their hearts. That's the whole point. They don't have any faith. They want to maintain the facade of the church. The whole "religion thing" is a more of a social gathering hence the need to be "inclusive".

The leadership of the church is majority apostate. In a way, this is a blessing in disguise. These things happen over the course of decades, not in a day. Conservative Bible-believing Episcopalians should have left long ago (many have). This issue should cause every last one of them to make the Exodus.
