Look I appreciate your husband's voting direction....

..but you're continuing to stay in a church whose hierarchy is liberal beyond belief.

All due respect, but how can you justify this?

Aren't you constantly having to compromise?

[altura]

No, in everyday church life we don't have to compromise. I have always had good Christian priests ... no exceptions ... and we have had wonderful Bishops in the Dallas diocese.

If you just don't think about the leadership, you are okay.

I really regret that so much of our money goes to them, but ....

Guenevere - go back and read my note......it began with "I'm not"............ you asked why I'm still with this church and I replied "I'm not".......and No, I wouldn't have had to compromise anything because our congregation did not have a gay minister, did not vote for gay ministers, and we continued to worship just as we always had while the debates and voting were being held all across the country - If we still lived in Texas we WOULD still be a part of that congregation. My relationship with God is my own - the Church I attend is merely the vessel......
