Cathedral officials tell The Associated Press the church will be among the first Episcopal congregations to implement a new rite of marriage for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender members. The church will announce its new policy Wednesday.

As the nation's most prominent church, the decision carries huge symbolism. The 106-year-old cathedral has long been a spiritual center for the nation, hosting presidential inaugural services and funerals for Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford......

Very sad that the people in our nation and in our churches are blinded to the truth. As the Prophet Isaiah said, "Woe unto them who call evil good and good evil" (Isaiah 5:20)

This is something I am going to be drilling in the coming weeks/months/years.

If the Govn’t can force an entity to pay for something that goes against their religious beliefs, what happens when they start forcing churches to perform same sex marriages as well?

We are watching our society crumble right in front of our eyes.

May the Lord’s justice prevail against these people.

“...holding to the form of godliness but denying its power. Avoid these people!”

II Timothy 3:5

The National Cathedral might as well start up with the animal sacrifices and chants to Lucifer as well.

DC is truly becoming a hub of abject evil in so many ways.

Will the event be open-carry?

After all, the RIGHT to keep and bear arms is actually in the Consititution.

We are to believe that spiritual center of the nation among other things now consist of homosexual unions.

The world of a Leftist.

I find these wingnuts no more prominent than a turd clinging to a sewer pipe. They may hold sway with fecal stained peckerheads, but any normal human will not be moved by their idiocy.

When do the cross-species “marriages” start being performed there? Aren’t we “progressive” now?

America has looked EVIL in the face, and embraced it!

It is the nature and tactic of the liberal left to
get any opposition to their policies to betray
their principles even if just a little, which tarnishes
and subverts the rest of their position.

It’s what they did with the elder Bush on Taxes and it
continues today with everything conservatives hold
dear. They have taken over our schools, our
communities, and they continue to undermine
our governments compact with us.

Damn them to HELL.

The Episcopal “church” is a cult. if there are any Christian believers still Episcopal, then they need to denounce this and excommunicate any that adhere to this.
