Presbyterians have a similar problem.

Presbyterian Church in America is still actually Christian.

PC(USA) is commie woke.

There are other orthodox Anglican denominations who withdrew from the Episcopal church as wekk (eg, Anglican Catholic Church, Anglican Church in America, Anglican Province of Christ the King). It’s tragic that the denomination known as “Anglican Church in North America” did not stand up to feminism at the time of the split. They retained the lady priests, and with that, the seed of their eventual demise.

Poor, priest-ridden, Democrat, Kennedys, etc. But then Methodists are non-Calvinist Protestants who don’t have the money to afford to be Episcopalians. Unitarians would like to be Jews but don’t like the ritual and dietary nonsense!

I was an acolyte for 8 years and, in college, was actively considering the ministry. Then, browsing a political magazine, I happened upon an article about the fact that an Episcopal bishop had announced that he was an atheist. The church’s hierarchy talked it over and decided that, faith or no faith, he could and should remain a bishop. That was the beginning of the end. Finally, at age 50, my wife and I (three close members of her family are Episcopal clergy) moved on. It was heartbreaking and, frankly, I miss the Episcopal liturgy every Sunday. Still, it was like breaking up with a lifelong lover.

After the ‘split’, my dad realized the Episcopalian church no longer represented him, so he sought out options. See my post blow with details on what he found…
