The Church members are leaving because they do NOT want to desecrate the memory of the honorable past vestrymen such as George Washington, by the practice of heresy by the hierarchy of the Episcopal Church. Miss Meyerson and her ilk illustrate the difficulty the good Episcopalians face with not only the coersive threats by the corrupt bishops to take away their property, but the venom of leftists and other heretics like Meyerson, IMO.
The real question is when did sexual perversion become a civil rights issue?
Oh, come on! You couldn't get on board with pastor Elvis and the chior singing about Sodom and Gomorrah?
"It was a hunk a hunk of burnin' gays! Ooooo It was a hunk a hunk of burnin' gays!"
Well... perhaps they would sing something else.
The Episcopalian I know says their denomination is the most intelligent. He also says they have no problem with any sin and their doors are open because "no one is perfect".

Anglican council censures Canada, U.S. Solange De Santis staff writer Sep 1, 2005 Lynn Ross Nottingham, England: The Anglican Consultative Council, which met June 18-29, voted to censure the Canadian and American churches for their more-liberal stand on homosexuality after listening to presentations from both churches. The council, an international group that meets once every three years, also decided to allow the 38 primates, or national bishops, of the Anglican Communion to join. The 70-odd members of the council met at the University of Nottingham in an auditorium that was physically hot, due to wobbly air conditioning and a heat wave, and emotionally tense. Although the council discussed such matters as the Middle East and the United Nations' Millen-nium Development Goals, public interest focused on sexuality. On June 22, the council decided to endorse a request from Anglican primates that Canada and the United States withdraw from the council at least until the 2008 Lambeth Conference, suggesting that the two churches "voluntarily withdraw" from two important council committees.http://www.anglicanjournal.com/world/ecusa/013/article/anglican-council-censures-canada-us/
The secular activists (even religious 'reformers' like PB Jefforts-Schori) and high perch commentators simply don't get it....
The Body of Christ is not an institution of man...
It is a movement of God....
The head of the Body is Jesus Christ --
And the Body is led and energized by the Spirit of the Living God...
Who does not change... or lie...
The same offer of mercies, compassion, healing, and transformation is available to all who choose to receive....
And the same ultimate judgments await those who refuse to acknowledge God and receive his offer of reconciliation purchase on the cross....
Jesus is the way the truth and the life...
Regardless of the opinions....
LOL, oh don't get me started!
I thought that line was inserted as commentary by the FR poster. I had no idea that the author actually meant it. That explains A LOT!
It really boils down to the homosexuals want no debate over choice.
Homosexuals push the notion that they have no choice in how they obtain sexual gratification. Their sexual gratification is to be judgment proof and not even "god" is allowed to dispute their method of orgasm.
The fact is there is NOTHING, ZERO, ZIP, in any credible science to support any posture of homosexuality as anything other than a learned behavior.
this is not about equal rights for homosexuals, this is about special rights for those with a particular sexual fetish. Homosexuality is only about the orgasm, nothing else.

Legacy Media is still unhappy that they were ineffective in selecting a Pope of their own choosing.
sorry about the 2x post
But "screaming Queen" clued me in.
Alas, poor Freddie Mercury, I knew him, not, Horatio.
Actually the opinion page is the appropriate place to register bias.
Poor Freddy Mercury. "Queen" was a big smash in the 1970s but nothing could save him from his lifestyle and the ravages of AIDS.
Where there is NO law, there is NO sin.
Bzzzt....false.
It's still under discussion...They are talking themselves to death while their church evaporates.
