“the agony previously endured by the Presbyterians, Episcopalians, and Lutherans”
That’s more of a threat from a liberal than an observation.
Illegitimi non carborundum, xzins, Illegitimi non carborundum
That’s all Greek to me.
What gets me down, blue, is that I am 100% certain that 95% of the bishops on our side of the pond will refuse to enforce these new rules. I had truly been hoping for a split. To just finally get it over with.
My sense is that the denomination has opened the door for church departures meaning any attempt to stand on the “trust clause” is seriously weakened. Their vote says “trust clause be damned; being fair is more important.”
Could you use that to a departing church’s advantage?
