Conservatives Expected to Split Episcopal Church

[elleng]

WHEATON, ILL. — Conservatives disaffected from the Episcopal Church are expected to declare on Wednesday that they are founding their own rival Anglican province in North America, the biggest challenge yet to the authority of the church in a five-year battle over the ordination of an openly gay bishop.

The move threatens the fragile unity of the Anglican Communion, the world’s third largest Christian body, made up of 38 provinces around the world that trace their roots to the Church of England and its leader, the Archbishop of Canterbury. This is the first effort to create a province defined by theological orientation, not by geography."

1. They should join the conservative Catholic Church. They'd be happier there among

their own kind. Narrow-minded bigots.

2. Sounds okay to me. Maybe now everybody will be happy.

3. This just in...

Splitting, division, strife, discomfit are all goals of the "conservatives". Fuck conservatives of all stripes, may they suffer the cosequences of their own divisive constructions.

Oh yeah, fuck religion as well. Grow up and shed your primitive superstitions.
