The urban churches have complete control, as I understand, and do what urban people do - become lefties. The Episcopal church leadership has been taken over by these socialists just as universities and the government have. The Episcopal church demonstrates the great success of the social revolution of the 60’s-70’s, IMHO.
Sadly, this has been the case for a long time in the ECUSA. A majority of Episcopalians hold to the belief that the Bible is open for wide interpretation; there is no literal requirement to believe Scripture is a black or white issue. Most, however, do believe that sin is a black or white issue with God with no sin being greater than another...IOW telling a lie is as bad as murder in the opinion of God; lustful thoughts as bad as actual adultery.
Personally, I don't particularly care if the person sitting in the pew next to me is gay or straight but I do care that they make their sin apparent. It is as if, I a sinner who has committed, lets say adultery, got up and announced it to the congregation and expected applause because of my being a church leader and proud of my sins. Don't ask, don't tell is working in the military and it can work in church as well. Confession needs to be made to God and gay people should remain in their closets even when wearing clerical collars.
