WaPo: Anglican Communion suspends the Episcopal Church after years of gay rights debates
Keep being awesome, Episcopalians. Fuck the queen.
The Episcopal Church has been suspended from full participation in the Anglican Communion, the world’s third-largest Christian denomination, after years of heated debates over human sexuality and other issues.
Since Robinson’s consecration in 2003, the Episcopal Church has upset many leaders in other Anglican provinces who saw its decisions on sexuality as a departure from scripture. Leaders in more theologically conservative Anglican provinces have asked the Anglican Communion to discipline the Episcopal Church, the historic home to U.S. presidents and the nation’s elite.
Keep being awesome, Episcopalians. Fuck the queen.
Does this have any practical implications for the Episcopal Church or is it all just pomp and circumstance for the Anglican Communion?
By Fenderputty Go To PostDoes this have any practical implications for the Episcopal Church or is it all just pomp and circumstance for the Anglican Communion?Day to day, I doubt it. It's not like the Episcopal Church relies on funding from the Anglican Communion.
The Americans probably just don't get to come to dumb global summits anymore.
What's essentially Church of England disciples being pissy with another group for breach of scripture and not following their prescribed doctrine, hilarious. The Pope called, he's on the line, laughing.
It's especially hilarious because we're talking about a church that was founded so that a king could get a fucking divorce.

That's the biggest drawback i could think of.

S'all good, the Church of England is a nonstop laugh if you don't get too bogged down in just how much of it involved purging human beings for being Catholic. But the Catholics also didn't keep their hands any cleaner by trying to foment wars between England and the Catholic nations or having assholes like Bloody Mary ascend the throne.
