In yet another embarrasment, the Episcopalian Church has just ordained a Bishop in Michigan who also just happens to be an ordained Zen Buddhist! Very little doctrinal standards, an endless quest to be "relevant" and a lack of any core identity in Christ unfortunately has torn this once great Body apart. I really do have great sympathy for those within Episcopalianism that feel their Church has been stolen from them; it has. Pray for them.
As the story I linked to also goes on to tell us, The Presbyterian Church USA has decided to ordain non-celibate homosexuals as ministers, elders and deacons. In both of these bodies, (P.C.U.S.A. and the Episopalian Church) attendance has been steadily dwindling for quite awhile. The irony is that both of these bodies began going more liberal in their theological convictions in order to "draw people in;" it didn't work. It never does. When the gospel's compromised, the church is compromised, and it isn't long before it becomes little more then a social gathering at best. Pray for them.
