Two Churches Leave The Episcopal Church

http://www.virtueonline.org/portal/modules/news/article.php?storyid=7439

[Virtue Online] 12 Jan 2008--The new Bishop of Tennessee, the Rt. Rev. John C. Bauerschmidt, is following in the footsteps of liberal Episcopal bishops across the country, playing by the Jefferts Schori rules of Episcopal engagement, namely inhibition, deposition of orthodox priests and property takeover of those who ditch the Episcopal Church fold.

It is now an all too familiar chorus. An orthodox Episcopal priest wakes up and realizes that the Episcopal Church is on a one way road going in the wrong direction. The arrows are pointing in one direction, he and his church are going in another. The besetting issues are always the same, the authority (or lack) of Scripture, the legitimating of sodomy, same sex rites and the consecration of the homogenital Bishop of New Hampshire, V. Gene Robinson. This quartet of sins is now enthroned and enshrined by church resolution, with some of it, according to Mrs. Schori, deemed to be prophetic.
