I'm crushed.

Dumped his wife and kids for another lover. Hardly a man who can point out the faults of others.
Episcopalians are not good chess players. They don’t know the difference between a bishop and a queen.
So an adulterer is giving advice on morality?
Good grief...what an embarrassment it must be to be Episcopalian.
Being rebuked by a jerk is an honor.
One of the many reasons why I left and swam the Tiber.
“Good grief...what an embarrassment it must be to be Episcopalian.”

Today that would certainly be true, but not in the past.
The ECUSA, besides being home to the National Cathedral,
was a fine and elegant denomination in America.
I was senior warden of a church built in 1832.
It was in the early 90s that the gays recognized the elegance and pomp of the denomination and decided to take over. It has been disastrous for the denomination.
My church was later co-opted by the gay son of a local Baptist preacher, after finding a back door (no pun intended) into the denomination and priesthood.
Most traditional Episcopalians have fled the ECUSA, with many joining Lutheran and Anglican churches.
In my case, I fled the failing USSA, now considering myself to be a Roman Catholic, first in Slovakia, and now in the Philippines.
The only “rebuke” that counts will be properly addressed.
I think that anyone that would be embarrassed has already left that church.
Go figure WHY someone would bother going to church if all you’re going to hear is: “Everything you do is just fine. Sin? What’s that?”
Welcome home Alex.
The E-swish-copal Bishop speaks.
The retired bishop’s ickiest quote. He was probably thinking of his ‘partner’ when he said this.
“God’s light and God’s life ooze
over me like warm butter.”
— Gay Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson
This is not a time for gloating over the fallen (ECUSA, ELCA etc.) but learning from their cardinal mistake -- they forgot that a step on the slippery slope is a step too far...
“What we Christians must study is how the ECUSA turned this way — “

Just my opinion, but I think the Gays were attracted to the
pomp and ceremony of the church.
In addition, they had a relatively small field that was ripe for the picking.
They had smaller churches, such as mine, that were available.
While I have no statistics, I suspect that some very large city congregations may be less affected, but I am too far out of the loop now to know what is happening back there.
Real simple. Contraception.
Contraception -> Divorce -> Female Pastors -> Gay marriage.
I should do a chart.
“Which step is your denomination on?”
That's why it's a dying denomination where the average congregant is over 64 years old. You don't need a church to hear the message that you should do whatever you want.
Catholic ping!
