At one time I considered the Episcopal Church. The increase in such behavior as this is one reason I scratched them off my list. I am now a Catholic.

I can't imagine how the Anglicans will be able to keep the American Church in communion after this (plus the election of that woman bishop as head of the church).

Definitely a schism is coming. I do think, however, that the primary motivation is to grab the property, and secondarily attention and a desire to make us all admit that they are normal (which they are not).

No, I believe the Churches (ECUSA, ELCA, PCUSA for now) are being USED in the most degrading sense of that word in order to advance the homophiles real agenda, which is obtaining property, inheritance, and insurance rights. The ultimate sanction against their behavior is sin, so if the definition of sin is distorted so that evil is called "good"; why should state laws need to stand in the way of obtaining these "rights". By that logic the gay agenda becomes a "justice" issue and is compared favorably with MLK and the struggle for desegregation and voting rights.
