Why the Church is in Trouble
Here is the clearest, most cogent explanation of why so many orthodox Episcopalians are agonizing about the future of their Church, and their place within it.
Key excerpt:
The American Episcopal Church no longer believes the historic, orthodox Christian faith common to all believers. Some leaders expressly deny the central articles of the faith -- saying that traditional theism is "dead," the incarnation is "nonsense," the resurrection of Jesus is a fiction, the understanding of the cross is "a barbarous idea," the Bible is "pure propaganda" and so on. Others simply say the creed as poetry or with their fingers crossed.
This is a must-read.

My dictionary says "church ultimately from Greek kuriakon doma ‘house of the lord’, from kurios ‘lord’" So the term American Episcopal Church is a oxymoron since " American Episcopal Church no longer believes the historic orthodox Christian faith common to all believers".
