TOLERANCE AND TRUTH IN AN INTOLERANT CHURCH
Commentary
By David W. Virtue

America's mainline denominations are in the midst of their greatest struggle for survival.

The lead candidate for death by a thousand cuts is the Episcopal Church USA.

The number of Episcopalians who practice their faith is about 800,000 (and dropping) and not the 2.3 million registered on the books. That figure declines almost weekly with fleeing congregations and priests who are either being inhibited and deposed, or people leaving in disgust at the promotion of an unbiblical pansexual agenda.

Furthermore people are starting to believe that something is rotten in the state of Denmark and it is not the smell of an acrid aristocracy, but an array of spiritually dead men and women dressed in purple who are leading them away from the one true gospel and toward a universalist 'faith' that is neither salvific nor truthful to the faith once delivered to the saints.

The departure from biblically-faithful doctrine is ruining ordinary parishioners and they perplexingly don't understand why, says the Rev. Dr. Earle Fox, priest, author and apologist.

The equally sad truth is that the vast majority of Episcopalians either don't care or don't know that their souls are endangered and they somehow believe that God's all embracing love winks at sin with a 'boys will be boys' attitude, while a presiding bishop espouses the notion that biblical standards for sexual sin, namely homoerotic behavior, doesn't fit the more enlightened and sophisticated minds of the 21st century. Tens of thousands of Episcopalians are sleep walking to a Christ less eternity.
