My conclusion is that the Episcopalians no longer qualify as a 'Christian' denomination.

My conclusion is that the leadership is greasing the skids for a formal split. They have a fund established to protect the corporation from losing their grip on congregational property.

This is a good move by the Episcopals. It will certainly help to clear up these pesky conflicts they keep having between their views and Christianity.

There is no other conclusion to draw.

I think this is intentional.

The episcopalians pushing this left wing manure have to be athiests who only see the church as a job.

"My conclusion is that the Episcopalians no longer qualify as a 'Christian' denomination."

That's the only logical conclusion you can come to.

Your conclusion that the Episcopalians no longer qualify as a 'Christian' denomination is certainly substantiated in the article. Howard states ... "If we cannot affirm the unique salvific power of Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we are no longer a Christian church."

I doubt that they ever were such an organization, but now they are a secular, leftist and irreligious religion well on the way to complete irrelevancy.

The local Episcopal church is headed by a fat female "bishop" with a seriously flawed understanding about what her religion is all about. She leads less than 100 followers and they are fading in number as they die off. In England, the church is known by many as the church with no attendees. We attended (as tourists) a mass at one of the largest cathedrals and we were the only people there except for a visiting choir from Trinidad and two priests.

I guess we can call them "Ians" now that the Christ part is removed.

"My conclusion is that the Episcopalians no longer qualify as a 'Christian' denomination."

As a former Episcopalian, I have to agree with you. It has become a social club.

"Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of My pasture!" declares the LORD." (Jer. 23:1)

They have decided as much.

They have become a pagan social club, and nothing more.
