It looks like they’ve decided to turn their church over to the gay mafia.

Strange, I missed the new Revelation, where God said he wanted to change the Bible.

Putting aside the theological problem of having open and unrepentant sinners in charge, it seems like a pretty short sighted decision on the part of the Episcopalians.

I just can’t see the homosexuals providing the financial support that is needed to support all of the churches and other institutions of the denomination.

No, just the Christians.

They have free will. It will not be until judgment day that they will see the errors of their ways. Will I pray for them? Yes, I will.

The nominations ... are likely to further inflame theological conservatives in the U.S. church

I am guessing there are relatively few of those.

So its the Episcopal church not the Anglican church going off the rails completely ? Or is there overlap ?

The Diocese of Los Angeles (is) widely regarded as one of the most liberal in the U.S. church of 2.1 million members. Its bishop, the Rt. Rev. J. Jon Bruno, is an outspoken advocate of gays rights in the church.

He also believes the Great Commission is null and void:

The Bishop of Los Angeles has issued an apology to Hindus for Christian attempts to convert them, and authorized a joint Hindu-Anglican service at St John’s Cathedral in Los Angeles—permitting Hindu devotees to receive the consecrated elements. The Rt. Rev. J. Jon Bruno apologized for past incidents of Christian discrimination against Hindus and vowed not to proselytize non-Christians . . . continued here

Christianity is a big tent. Christians may hold many different theological and political positions. But at the center of the faith, there is, among other things, Matthew 28:16-20. Give that up, as leftists always preach Christians should, and the faith goes the way of the Shakers. Which is, I believe, exactly what Rev. Bruno wants. Even if one is charitable and assumes Bruno doesn't know where he is headed, it doesn't change the result. Christianity will never go away but its influence will be greatly diminished by what Bruno and others accept.

It really doesn’t matter much. All the real Christians left a while back.
