Traditional Anglican ping, continued in memory of its founder Arlin Adams. Agree. This article reads like the conservatives are so passive and there is little hope. ECUSA needs to be expelled. The traditional diocese and parishes need to fight for every inch, including litigating over church property. The current church leadership would like nothing better than if the conservatives simply picked up and left. The ECUSA would then become the heretical, gay, liberal, new age church.
Haven't they already suffered enough by being known as the Church of the Gay Bishop? It's got to be painful to endure such ridicule.
Seems like the liberals are pushing things from 'thriving to surviving', at this rate.
For instance, he said, conservative clergy at six Connecticut parishes are being threatened with defrocking by their bishop.
Does anyone know the six? They, specifically, need Prayer.
Good one Frank, way find common ground. I'm just waiting for the day there's a schism, and you'll have accomplished that single handedly.
Same happening within the Anglican Church of Canada, as we all know. Two or three parishes that walked away from the tyranny of Ingham in New Westminster have given up on trying to keep their church buildings. However they seem much happier in new premises and Ingham has the task of keeping empty churches pretending to be full of people.
As a Reformed Christian, my general impression has been that if church is going downhill, but tolerates orthodoxy, it is permissible to stay and fight. But if they start persecuting orthdoxy, get the heck out. It has ceased to be a church.
