It se...Hi,<BR/>Hope you don't mind my making a comment. It seems to me that that it's not just the Episcopal Church and orthodox believers in the USA. I think that there are two different churches globally that are roughly the same size (around 70,000,000) are coninuing to move in different directions. Is this a bad thing? I think that each side perceives the other as wrong but the reality is that soon down the road the Anglican Church as we have known it will split into two churches, both calling themselves Anglican and both identifying their roots as coming from the English Reformation in the 16th. Century. Is there room for two? I don't see how it can be otherwise because both will claim it and who's to stop that. I think when that happens the CofE will also fracture since there is a very strong evangelical presence in the English church. Here, the majority is traditional TEC going on their path; the minority wants to go the other way. But they are such totally different groups. So what's the answer? I'm curious to know what you think ... if you care to answer. :)<BR/><BR/>I've heard a lot of positive things said by conservatives about +Schori as well the things you list. I think, thjough others might disagree, that the main issue they have with her has to do with #3. At least, that is my position. I'm pretty orthodox but I think the whole thing is terribly painful and wrenching for all sides ... at least those who think about it.<BR/><BR/>Bill .... again hope you don't mind my voice.
