Had an affair while he was married, lied about it, then left his wife and kids for his lover, got divorced, married his gay lover, divorced again and is alcoholic.

You said it before I could!

In a normal male with such an adulterous affair, he would have been dropped as a Bishop and lucky to keep his ordination! As a homosexual, he was avant-garde and protected! Why I am an Anglican, not Episcopalian!

As my paternal grandmother said during the mid-1970s: "I didn't leave the Episcopal Church. It left me." I walked out of ECUSA in NOV 2003 after 48 years when VGR was consecrated bishop of the Diocese of NH.

Very recently I was considering checking out an ACNA parish nearby, then I read this ...

Ex-SBC Beth Moore Joins Anglican Church

Some bishops ordain women as priests and commission them as church planters.
Some bishops only ordain women as deacons.
Some bishops do not ordain women but will license a woman to serve in a particular church that requests it.
Some bishops do not receive women in Holy Orders at all.

This is especially dangerous because apart from existing no such thing biblically as a woman priest or pastrix, it creates a ready-made rift that is rife to exploit, particularly because the same scripture twisting used to allow for the ordination of women is employed to push a liberalizing position on sodomy. You’ll never find a church that is pro-LGBTQ but also doesn’t ordain women.
