However, multiple reports have pointed out that Gorsuch and his wife attend St. John's, Boulder — a liberal Episcopal church headed by a very liberal, pro-LGBT female rector named Rev. Susan Springer.
Opposition to Gorsuch's affiliation with St. John's was voiced even before he was nominated.
Christian conservative activist and lawyer Andy Schlafly, the son of the late pro-life leader Phyllis Schlafly, voiced his concern over the possible nomination of Gorsuch in an email sent in November with the subject line: "veto these Sup. Ct. nominee candidates."
Schlafly wrote that Gorsuch "probably would NOT be pro-life on the Supreme Court" and included him on his list of "unacceptable nominees."
"Gorsuch's Episcopalian church has declared its 'unequivocal opposition' to pro-life laws and he has said nothing publicly pro-life," Schlafly wrote in the email.
Others, including journalist Julia Duin, who previously wrote for the conservative news outlet The Washington Times, have brought up the issue of Gorsuch's membership at St. John's.
"Think about that for a moment. If this man is the frightening conservative that some on the Left are already alleging him to be, there's no way he'd be Episcopalian, much less at a woman-priested church," Duin wrote. "The Episcopal Church, for anyone who's not been following religion trends in recent decades, has been careening to the theological and cultural left for years and its membership statistics show it. Thousands have left TEC and joined alternative Anglican churches."
"A Google search shows there's an Anglican church in Boulder that the Gorsuch family could be attending if they so desired," she continued. "So, the fact that the judge and his family has remained at St. John's says something."

He went to a Jesuit high school as well...doesn’t bode well IMO.
I was told he was a bit conservative, but the more I see ,and hear from him , and about him I am finding that not to be the truth.
That is horrendous.
This is a screaming red flag!!STOP this appointment!!
“He went to a Jesuit high school as well...doesn’t bode well IMO.”
We have two younger relatives in Jesuit run private highschools, and they have become more conservative thanks to good parents.
Now they are smart enough not to even consider a Jesuit college.
Totally agree with you re Jesuit college grads. They will stab you in the back while complementing you and shaking your hand with their unarmed hand.
I posted about this before, but I’m very uneasy about him. I feel like he could be another Kennedy. I felt an uneasy feeling from the night he was announced.
This does concern us ,,,, its like a red flag. Of all the 30,000 churches why would he choose a patently leftist anti-Biblical one?
I'd never stay for 5 minutes in a church that featured leftist clergy.
IMO we shouldn't be surprised if he becomes the next Soutter.
I’m really not sure it matters. Episcopal layfolk have been ignorijg their clergy for years, decades.
Not a great sign, but the gay lobby says he’s the devil incarnate. So, I guess we’ll see.
If you’re looking for a silver lining, stuff like this probably makes even marginal Senate R’s more inclined to pull the nuclear option if Schumer tries to block him.
From what I understand Trump is newly saved (last few years) and I don’t think his spiritual discernment is matured.
He is picking up on these red flags yet.
This is where the advice of a more experienced Christian like maybe Trey Gowdy would be helpful.
YUP.
No, it doesn’t matter.
It’s too late, he’s in the process of being confirmed.
Maybe his 2,700 appellate court cases would shed some light on the matter.
The imagined influence of his church is total speculation. His actual record is the best information available.
(oh, and sitting in the pews to PERSONALLY hear far left marxism spewed every Sunday is somehow the same as being a member of 1 billion member denomination that happens have a tree hugger as its current leader. Sorta like how there's no difference between personally voting a commie mayor in San Francisco and a Texan living in America while Obama happens to the President of his country)
He did testify homosexuals marrying is ‘settled law’.
#1 No law has ever been passed!
We can kill this nomination . If Trump wants to go with Democrats. TAKE$ THIS ONE!! Rand Paul, Mike Lee and Ted Cruz can kill this nomination with a hammer. No way woman priests!! No way baby killing “church” in the most liberal cesspoll of Boulder Colorado. KILL THIS NOMINATION!!
