Omg, I'm sorry, that's just a freaking HOOT!
Just look at how the wisdom of this world is proving itself folly.
Yep. It is a common practice for Moslems to built mosques on the sites of Christian churches. Normally it’s done as part of warfare, but in this era, the warfare is taking place in a subtle manner. Soon to come to a community near you.
“”We can’t sell to an organization that wants to put us out of business,” said Bishop Jefferts Schori, who added that her job is to ensure that “no competing branch of the Anglican Communion impose on the mission strategy” of the Episcopal Church. Indeed she has no complaint with Muslims, Baptists or barkeepers buying Episcopal propertiesonly fellow Anglicans.”
I had to read this a few times. I suspected at first the article had to be satire. But I think Schori actually said that. A brief moment of truth.
Thats what Homosexual Perverts of Either SEX do when they are able to grab the Power!! No Homosexual really believes in GOD or Christianity! Their’s is a life of perverse self gratification!! Thats ALL!! They have no comassion for what is right verses wrong nor GOD’S WORD!!
"Bishop" Jefferts Schori is quoted in the article as saying she'd prefer to sell churches to Muslims or saloonkeepers rather than faithful Christians who defy her radical agenda.
Wow. Just...wow.
An appropriate response would be basically to excommunicate the Episcopalian church from the Anglican communion, but a step further, that they will *not only* no longer be recognized as Anglican, but they will also no longer be recognized as Christian, having doctrinally renounced the divinity of Christ.
In turn, this means not only no ecumenism with the Episcopalians, but even to no longer respect their sacraments as sacred. Those baptized by that organization, or confirmed or married will have to be re-sanctified by either an Anglican, Catholic, or Orthodox diocese, for these things to be recognized as legitimate.
This is so serious that other Protestant denominations cannot remove the “taint” of the Episcopalians, if they are willing to denounce the heresies of the Episcopalian church. They can only obtain absolution with confession, renouncing heresy and sacrilege, and to swear allegiance to all Christian articles of faith.
In not so many years a child will read a book and ask his parents, “What was the Episcopal church?”

I fear the Prysbyterian Church USA will find themselves in the same boat for the same reason. There is much anger in our church when the leadership voted to allow guy clurgy.
WOW!! Just wow.
What if the overwhelming majority of the parish of the Good Shepherd voted to be received into the Orthodox Church, after the normal Catechesis? And what if they (or their new Diocese) wanted to keep, or buy, the building. What would Jefferts-Schori do then?
Tell them to quick bury a pig on the property!!!
Those that have left the Episcopal church will NEVER return.
I find it unconscionable for a church to abandon the Scriptures. Homosexuality is a sin, and the Bible knows nothing about female priests/pastors.
