Episcopal Church Reverses Pro-Gay Agenda... (sorta)

After dramatic grass roots objections by members (especially overseas), the pro-gay Episcopal leadership agreed to reverse coarse and stop ordinating openly gay Bishops or blessing same-sex marriages. The last gay bishop they ordained turned out to be an alcoholic, and many church members left in protest. (Our church in Tallahassee broke in two, with the minister leaving with half the congregation to start a new Anglican Church.) Despite promotion and encouragement from left-of-center news sources like NPR, the "Elite" leadership seems to have finally gotten the message (or noticed the loss of revenues) and has backed down from their in-your-face changes and has returned to a more Biblical based agenda. (Perhaps the many prayers were answered.) Of course, not ordinating "openly gay" Bishops doesn't remove any of the gays and lesbians that are already Bishops, or stop them from ordinating more who haven't publically admitted being gay. And it remains to be seen if the thousands of families who left the church will come back. See Chick's DOOM TOWN.
