"Damned if we do (accept), damned if we don't"

[VirtueOnline] April 1, 2005--As ECUSA has unilaterally adopted unbiblical practices, in its path it has left a trail of broken relationships and other casualties throughout ECUSA and the world-wide Anglican Communion, including South Rwenzori Diocese and the Church of Uganda. When some in the Church of Uganda continued to receive financial support from ECUSA after it broke communion with it, we were condemned as hypocrites for taking money from a church with whom we were no longer in communion.

So, our House of Bishops and the Provincial Assembly (our biennial governing body) unanimously agreed to withdraw requests for financial support from official ECUSA bodies and dioceses that support those unbiblical practices. But, now, we are being condemned for upholding the integrity of our decisions. It is a classic case of "damned if you do and damned if you don't."
