[Prof Engineer]

Thanks

[RoseofTexas]

NOW it makes sense!

[q_an_a]

Anyone that thinks that fly over country won't vote for a crazy idea just has to look at this list; Utah, Kansas, S. Dakota, Wyoming etc. This should give conservative republicans a scare.

Formatting fix.

Utah, Kansas, S. Dakota, Wyoming etc

I think that in some of these communities, people join the Episcopal Church specifically to assert their "difference" from other, more conservative protestants - - so the Episcopal Church is more liberal than the community as a whole. Just my theory ...

[PhiKapMom]

That explains the adverse reaction here in Oklahoma -- the moron voted for the gay! Wonder how long he is going to remain head of the Oklahoma group of churches?

[lady lawyer]

The "bishop" from Utah is a woman who left the Mormon church over issues like abortion. She is undoubtedly completely leftist in her leanings, and very unrepresentative of the majority of people in this state.

[altura]

Looks like Texas could secede from the Episcopal Union ... all our Bishops voted no.

[LiteKeeper]

Gracias

Winterrowd, William J. – Colorado

I believe I read that he originally asked for the decision to be made in "executive session" - but was voted down. Maybe he didn't relish having his diocese know how he would vote?

[ChewedGum]

I tried to separate this list into a regional list for analysis. It may not be perfect, but the original was missing some information (i.e. some cities do not include a state, some are groups or associations, etc.) I think should be adequate for us to look at.

Read the list and then give your analysis, Freepers.

YES

NO

"Anyone that thinks that fly over country won't vote for a crazy idea just has to look at this list.."

All the voters are essential Liberal Bishops AND the Fudge Packers are ~2.6% of the population, under every rock, North, South, East and West.....

[churchillbuff]

Well, if the South had won the Civil War - so the Southern Bishops hadn't been on hand at this convention -- the gay bishop wouldn't have had many no votes, that's for sure.

[Eva]

I think that you are right in stating that members of the Episcopal church tend to be much less conservative. I know people who left the Episcopal church back in the '80s, as it moved more and more left.

[mtbopfuyn]

OMG, I can't believe some of those who voted 'yes' - Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma. I can understand how Arkansas voted 'yes'. Where is the one for New Mexico? With Oklahoma going to the Dark Side and New Mexico harboring RAT criminals, Texas should secede asap.

[Prof Engineer]

Looks like Texas could secede from the Episcopal Union ... all our Bishops voted no.

I was glad to see this! The issue has bummed me out all day.

[mtbopfuyn]

Never mind, I noticed NM as El Camino Real voted 'yes'. OMG...OMG...OMG. I hear the thundering hooves of 4 horses.
