Episcopalia

Heretic-elect Katherine Jefferts Schori is a real problem, although I believe she is simply indicative of where the ECUSA and other mainstream churches (PCUSA, United Methodists) have been going for quite a while now.

From the Midwest Conservative Journal:

To the media, then, Kate Schori is a godifyoubelieveinthatridiculousconceptsend. A liberal woman with a pointy hat and a hooked stick who doesn’t care who or what they sleep with and who has, for the time being, an international stage with another international Christian church. As I see it, the media seems to be tacitly saying to Rome, “Do you see what kind of approval we’d give you if you’d just lighten up?”

“Ichabod,” says Anthill blog.

The gospel message that saturates the New Testament—that in Jesus Christ, God broke through into our history to make right everything that had been wrecked by human rebellion—did not ring in the halls of the Convention. Jesus Christ offering us, first of all, the forgiveness of our sins, based on his sacrificial death on the cross, vindicated by his actual resurrection from the grave, was not the heartbeat of the Convention. New life coming to us through a relationship with God through Christ, sealed by baptism, not primarily caused by baptism, did not drive the emphasis on mission to the world.

Lord Christ, please bring revival of your truth into this assembly of Satan.
