Oh, I understand your point. I was just pointing out that it is all relative..."lay not up treasure for yourself on earth" amd all that. To be honest, I had not really given much thought to the financial aspect of the whole thing before you mentioned it. I believe another poster did as well. Obviously the church has considered whether or not it could maintain financial stability knowing that a lot of money will be leaving the church, but the real battle was a spiritual one, and Satan won this round. I don't know how we address the possessions of the church or even if we can, short of driving the queers out, which obviously isn't going to happen. While there will still, for awhile anyway, be individual parishes that adhere to the scriptures, eventually the trickle down headship of the church will infect the entire church, much like AIDS infects the entire body. Perhaps the world body will cut the American church off from the Anglican Communion as an act of chastisement, and it would be a well-deserved humiliation. We have obviously lost all sense of right priorities and have failed to discipline ourselves or to heed the warnings of more devoted men of God.
