Sad time for "Christians"

I think that the article by Mr Munford was some of the most biased piece of junk that I have read. I thought I was reading the AJC. St. Andrews members did not leave the Episcopal church. Those that voted to leave the Diocese of Atlanta left the church. Members of St Andrews EPISCOPAL CHURCH are mad and should be. If those that dissent want to leave...leave. They know the rules. The church is and always be St. Andrews Episcopal Church. I never read a statement from the Bishop of Atlanta. He controls the deed to St. Andrews not those that chose to leave. A long tedious legal battle will ensue. The legal battle will cost a bunch of money. Be Christians and do the right thing. Go start your own church and leave St. Andrews to the loving people there. I drove past on Sunday and your sign said " The Episcopal Church Welcomes You" Did Dave Wardell have that changed yet?.

Be Christians and do the right thing. ????

Who are the Christians here? And is it correct to call yourself a Christian if you reject the fact that Jesus claimed himself to be God? Is he who he claims he is? Or does the Diocese of Atlanta consider Jesus to be a nice guy but a liar, a deceiver, and a blasphemer?

Episcopal troubles
Submitted by dollaradayandfound on Thu, 02/15/2007 - 12:24pm.

I researched what is going on.
Just to provide the highlights:
Homosexual Bishops ok in current church. Not in Anglican, but some allow them to attend.
Women can be ordained in current church. Not in Anglican.
Bible is altered and can be more to meet current standards in current church. Only partially true in Anglican.
Apostles were simple people and don't solve all current problems.
Jesus is not the only way. Other religions are also religious and ok. (current)
Changes are occasionally necessary to provide continuous church membership. (current).
This is a simple explanation, but Episcopals being as they are (scholarly) would make this 10-15 pages with some condradictions.
Some Rectors stay with or resign due to pension problems and who owns the church problems.
This info is out of hundreds of small Episcopals also shut down and law suits are flying.

I was curious as to what is going on with this issue, but you just saved me a whole lot of time with the cliff's notes. 'Preciate it.

Episcopal church: Pak
Submitted by dollaradayandfound on Wed, 02/14/2007 - 9:23pm.

I'm still having trouble figuring out who are the Episcopals in PTC and who is not. Also just who owns the Church (its the headquarters in Atlanta, but locals have the trust??) Locals paid for it, right. Who now are the locals? The Nigerian group, or the Atlanta group?
Can the ones that left get paid for their part of the church they paid for so as to build themselves a Nigerian Church? (Anglican, but a different kind of Anglican).
Could someone write down for us in say 2-3 typewritten pages, just what the differences are between Nigerian Anglicans and Atlanta Anglicans? It is our business, we live here.
I know it is Canon (written by the Pope or competent people?) differences but which ones? Does Jesus or homosexuality have much to do with it?
Or, is it just too complicated and personal to discuss.
Maybe people are just getting too scholarly to dictate church rules that are forever changing?

Read the Blog: St. Andrew's Twisted Vestry
Hi There's picture

An outline is laid out in the blog; ST. ANDREW'S TWISTED VESTRY. In addition, reading this, you will find many questions answered. I feel the priest stayed too long at this church. It is customary for the clergy, as in the Roman Catholic Church, to move every few years. It's unhealthy for everyonve involved when the clergy stay too long. Case in point, St. Andrew's.
