God created only a man and a woman, male and female. He never said He created an in-between, one that we now call gays or homosexuals. i believe that gays or homosexuals have psychological problems and they have to be helped by the community. tolerating them and going as far as allowing them to be married to one another is just so sick. to top it all, they have become so strong that they are able to create such divisiveness in the church. this has become so because the church tolerated them. are we short of good christian leaders nowadays? how can we have christian leaders who allow disunity and divisiveness reign in our church? all my respects go to Bishop Duncan who decided to remain in the TEC with the hope of instituting changes from within. My prayers will always be with him, a man with a great vision!

I find homosexuals very homophobic, because they they can only relate to one sex, while heteralsexuals are not homophobic because they area able to relate to both sexes, male and female. Homosexuals are homophobic in their relationship with only one sex, male or female of the same gender. Those who keep complaining about Christians who insist upon keeping the historic and biblical church are ridiculed by homosexuals again proving that they are homophobic. John Bartleson Jr. Th.D

Thank you for keeping abreast of the Episcopal and American Anglican happenings. I've wondered about possible skewed reporting of statistics in my local newspaper by the Episcopal leadership. May God watch over and bless His believers in both denominations.

Actually, TEC is the new acronym; it has replaced ECUSA as of the last General Convention.

Some might argue that the split started even earlier than 1976. Among the orthodox Anglicans, especially those of the Anglo-Catholic persuasion, some would maintain that the "modern day" split started around 1930 when the Episcopal Church liberalized its thinking on birth control.

the article are very important for educating the generality of christian church of developments crucial to their faith and practice universally. lam in support of the conservatives. The old time religion must be maintained for purposefulness and Christ.

This fracturing did not start in 2000, but much earlier. The modern day splits started in 1976 after the adoption of the new Book of Common Prayer and the ordination of women. The Episcopal church has been losing consevatives for years so now you have the final take over by the liberals. Other factions include the United Anglican Church, the Anglican Catholic Church The Anglican Province of America to name a few. The web site shelterinthestorm.org has links to all the continuing churches and all the "safe" parishes aroung North America.
