These bishops act not as Shepherds of the Master they claim to serve but as petty lords over fiefdoms whose sole purpose is to maintain ham-fisted control over their real estate empires.The churches (Protestant and Catholic) are full of non-believers who are protecting their careers.
In another vein...gotta love that phrase "ham-fisted"...
We left the Episcopal Church many years ago after the Rector mocked the virgin birth and drew a triangle with liberalism at the top.
After trying a couple of other Episcopal Churches, and finding that it was sick, in schism, we punted.
