"You know, the leaders of the Episcopal Church are currently insisting that THEY are listening to the Holy Spirit and reading the Word of God correctly ..."

And that makes them different from any other organized religion how?

Well, as an organized religion they're pretty much a bust, as they are reading the Bible in a way that it's never been read before (in fact the opposite of the way anybody has read it before), which is driving their adherents away in droves.

But, after all, it's "their personal interpretation of Scripture" . . . and without the guidelines established by 2,000 years of church teaching and tradition (including that period when the Bible was not yet compiled -- and St. Paul mentions word of mouth teaching as well as his epistles), how can one gainsay their interpretation?
