Episcopal Church Rejects Holiness in Favor of Moonbat Depravity
At least no legitimate church would ordain as ministers militant freaks like Kittredge Cherry of Metropolitan Community Churches, who blasphemously prays to her warped notion of an “Erotic Christ” — at least, not unless you count Episcopalians:
A day after a legislative body of the Episcopal Church voted to sell the denomination’s New York headquarters amid budget cuts and declining membership, church leaders on Saturday adopted legislation to give transgenders the right to become lay and ordained ministers. …
Leaders of the church are also scheduled to vote on a liturgy for same-sex weddings during the convention, which concludes on Thursday.
As a consequence of ramming liberal degeneracy down the congregration’s throat:
The bishops’ move overlooks the fact that 200,000 members and 300 parishes have left the denomination in the past few years partly due to the church’s leftist policies on social and political issues. Nine years ago, the church approved its first openly gay bishop. …
In recent years, the membership of the Episcopal Church, which is rooted in the Church of England, has declined to below two million, and the average Sunday attendance is as low as 657,831.
Their progress has been impressive — assuming the objective is to destroy the church from within. But attendance still tops CNN viewership. Maybe they should ordain Anderson Poopchuter as a minister.

I left the Episcopal Church when it ordained the gay bishop. I brought up the issue of biblical authority for making homosexuals church officials at bible study on Sunday. There is none.
The biggest problem people have with “religion” today is when denominations like this take God’s Holy Word and tear out all the parts that they don’t like.
I have great respect for the people that have seen what the Episcopal Church has done, and have left knowing that the Episcopal Church has turned their back on God.

Like TrickleUp, I also fled the Episcopal church when they ordained the gay bishop and I saw the blatant heresy. The people leading the Episcopal church have a lot to answer for. God will not look kindly on those leading the flock astray.
Too bad for these idiots … Christ will spew them out of his mouth .. they think they can soften God’s pronouncements and be held blameless .. they have absolutely no clue what they are doing. idiots!!
Do you wonder if the Episcopal Church read about Sodom and Gomorrah?
Along the lines as TrickleUpPolitics, I wonder if the “leadership” in the Episcopal church have ever read the Old Testament. It seems very clear to me, that God does judge nations for their evil deeds. I have yet to find the exemption granted to the USA. I do believe that we in here in the USSA are currently being punished for our collective sins against God. We need to do something very unHip, uncool and extremely politically incorrect: we need to both collectively and indevidually repent of our sins against the Lord.
Considering that membership is declining as are offerings the only hope for the Anglophone Episcopal Church may be missionaries from Africa. In America the laity does NOT have to put up with this kind of foolishness. The top leadership is being forced to choose between wealth and members. They seem to be going for the wealth.
And yet, most Evangelicals will still consider Episcopals to be “Christian” and in the same breath tell you us Mormons aren’t. Bah!
I would also add that we’re now at 14 million members worldwide and growing every year.
1 John 2:22-23 “Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.”
Matthew 24:24 “24 “For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.”

I grew up Episcopalian. I didn’t go to church for a few decades, but started again this past advent. I had considered going to an evangelical church, but, deep down, I knew that the church of my childhood was where I belonged. The priest has brought me closer to God than any preacher ever. He has given me an understanding of God’s love and how to conduct a relationship with God. After several months of admiring him and his work, I was shocked to discover that he is gay. I am still attending the church because of what this man has been able to do for me. I now find it impossible to be doctrinaire about sexuality and the priesthood. I guess I have to be stripped of my conservative stripes.
