his new role as an Episcopalian priest

Is the Episcopal Church truly so far gone that they would let this come to pass?

It is one thing to accept homosexuals into the priesthood -- not a pretty or a wise thing, IMO -- but it is entirely another thing to accept a man who was corruptly using his position to advance his sexual interest at the expense of the safety and security of his state.

And this redemption thing that now seems to happen instantly when an evil-doer is exposed...this is crazy.

I'd guess that his admission to the priesthood would make the split in the Episcopal Church utterly beyond hope of reconcilliation. But maybe it is already...perhaps those who know about such things can comment.

Um, yeah. Hey, they accept as a bishop a fellow, Sprong, who denies Christ. What's a little homosexuality compared to that?

They have Bishops that have done the same; his behavior isn't shocking by ECUSA standards.

[Bainbridge]

Yes, the split is so far beyond reconciliation that there is no interest in such a thing. We are in court. The Episcopal church is not a Christian church.
