I BEG ALL EPISCOPALS WHO ARE AS APALLED AS WE ARE...LEAVE THE CHURCH NOW!!! FORM YOUR OWN CHURCH OF THE MAJORITY. I SUGGEST YOU CALL IT THE "AMERICAN ANGLICAN CHURCH", IN LINE WITH THE ENGLISH WHO HAVE REFUSED TO BRING THEIR OWN RELIGION INTO THE GUTTER OF HOMOSEXUAL DEPRAVITY.

If this repulsive immoral man were not gay--and left his wife and children to pursue adulterous affairs, he would never had a chance of becoming a bishop. This is disgraceful....LEAVE NOW AND THE PERVERTS' SCHISM WILL FALL LIKE THE HOUSE OF CARDS IT HAS BECOME.

Gossipol according to the "Episcopalian Church USA" ..

1)Thy shall allow openly-practicing gay Bishops.
2) Thy shall Bless and approve the Same Sex-unions of thy people.
3) Thy shall choose and pick what thy like in the " bible" accroding to thy needs or wants of thy people.

The group leading the charge against the immorality in the Episcopal Church is Episcopal Shield. They have links to the American Anglican Council. Fortunately, there is one branch of the Worldwide Anglican Communion already established in the states, AMiA, the The Anglican Mission in America. See my post here for links to other established Anglican Groups in America. (There are so many choices.)


Episcopal Shield is calling for a schism but gives these instructions to the faithful:

Episcopalians Urged Not To Leave, But To Wait For Re-Alignment Plans To Be Worked Out In the Next Few Months.

We have received emails from many episcopalians who are finally fed up and plan to leave their churches on Sunday. We would like to ask them to continue to stand until we can work out the plans for a re-alignment with the Anglican Communion.

We will need many episcopalians in the trenches working to align their parishes with the "biblical" episcopal church as we re-align with biblical doctrine and the Anglican Communion.

We have lost a battle, but we will WIN THE WAR! Please continue to persevere with us through the sacrifices we will have to endure to re-establish our church on biblical foundations. The journey will be hard, but it will be a testament to our love for God.


Personally, I would recommend, going either to your closest Anglican church or to your regular Episcopal Church depending on you how strong you feel. Going to your regular church this week, and pretending that this weeks events are "no big deal", would be the worse thing we could do.

I plan to go and whisper to a friend or two "Can you believe what happened. This will mean the end of the ECUSA." or "Have you heard about any Anglican churches in the area?" or "Do you think we can break away before we lose everything?" I probably will let the kids be as fidgity as they want this Sunday (LOL) adding to a feeling of unrest in the air.

There is one thing to consider, though. Should we take communion if the church does not denounce the actions of the Convention? I suppose we can just kneel in prayer, at our pew, if we choose not to go up to the alter rail.

Let's take heart in the knowledge that only 2.3 million out of 70 million Anglicans are Episcopalians. This means that 67 million Anglicans are praying for us in our time of turmoil.
