This! This is among the many reasons the Episcopal Church is a joke in this country. Desperately trying to be relevant...

One small church in florida does something goofy so that makes the entire Episcopal Church in this country a "joke?"

Isn't that kind of like saying that a few priests molested some kids, so all Catholics are pedophiles?

Fair enough, I'll elaborate more...

The Episcopal church in America is a joke because of the following:

- "ordaining" women
- "ordaining" gay men and women
- elevating gay men and women to "bishops"
- recently caving in and removing the mention of rejecting Satan in their baptismal rite
- the list goes on and on

Gee..I guess that means my half-century-old Episcopalian baptism is revoked now, eh? Sure am glad somebody is keeping an eye on my morality for me. Thanks in advance!

One of the one's that got me was when a local priest wrote in his blog that the gospels were probably a mixture of myth and real events. If you get that part wrong, your not left with a whole lot.
