I don’t think we should any longer refer to Christians and Christianity in the same breath (or writings) when discussing the Episcopal Church. Anyone still affiliated with the Episcopal Church is defacto going along with its destruction. These people should refer to themselves as Churchians because their “church” means more to them than their belief in our Savior. All sinners are welcome to become Christians, but they must repent from their sins.
Promoting the man who divorced his wife, left his family, and brough his boyfriend into the rectory should have been the final blow. The world is upside down. Brave New/Old World is upon us.

Rowan is a very stupid, misguided and evil man.

But for the many trusts and legacies, and all the inherited real estate, this man would count for nothing. He is a church official trapped in the present, enjoying all the blessings and honors of past, without a clue how to deal with the future and its demands. He has abandoned the timeless counter-cultural, other-worldly nature of Christianity and its eternal perspective and is now captive to the limits of abilities. He will reap what he has sown.

“I had my sister visiting from the east and found out she was associated with the Epicopalians and wanted me to donate to planned parenthood. How sad for me.”

We are not all of that ilk.
I was an Episcopalian, and I live in ground zero - New Hampshire. Apart from a funeral last week, I have not been in the Episcopal/Anglican church for ten years.
But I cannot accept Gene Robinson as “My Bishop”.

I am doing fine, worshiping with my wife in the the local Russian Orthodox church.

But, I miss the Anglican service, more than words can say.
Those bastards stole my church!

That should go over very well when London becomes Londonistan in the Islamic Republic of the British Isles.

As you post:

"Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them."

Ephesians 5:8-11

Works good in politics, too.

...by effectively preventing openly gay clergy from becoming bishops.

The whole purpose of his cause has already been defeated by the presence of "gay clergy". ANYONE should be welcomed as a member of a church - they need to be a bit more selective in who gets to stand in front of the laity to preach the Word.
