The Archbishop of Canterbury has already been approached three times by orthodox American clergy, and responded favorably each time, that if there is a decision in the American Epicopal Church to have gay bishops and gay weddings, a new Anglican Council in North America should be created for churches and dioscese in opposition to join. I am sure this will happen soon. The next move will be to exclude the Gay American Epicopal Church from Anglican affiliation. I am sure this will happen too, but take longer. The sad thing about it all is that a lot of fine people who do not ascribe to sodomites as spiritual leaders will meanwhile leave the church. And many existing churches and dioscese, their property included, will go the gay way. The church property and capital accounts do not belong to the individual parishes, they belong to the dioscese which is governed by a bishop. Unless the dioscese joins the new orthodox Anglican North American organization, if the choice is to remain with the American Episcopal Church, the property and cash goes to the gay bishops bunch. So, if you were wondering what happened last week: it was all about money and butt-piracy by the new social order in the good old stuffy Episcopalian Church.

I guess that makes me an E-co-palian now. That is an Episcopalian who is pi$$ed off.

I doubt this will happen. As noted on this thread, the Archbishop of Canterbury is quoted as saying: "My own personal conclusion is that I can see a case for acknowledging faithful same-sex relationships."

It's like buy stock in WorldCom, Enron, as they go down into Bankruptcy. You has so much invested, one hates to sell at a low price and get out. However, one must on lose more.
