How long? - A call to honesty for the Episcopal Church U.S.A.
by Jack Estes

It is certain that anyone reading this is aware of the ongoing controversy within ECUSA. My intention is not to rehash the arguments. Rather, this is a call for honesty for all parties involved, a statement of the obvious, and an appeal for a solution that is reflective of Christian virtue. "How long?" is a call for honesty and for action, a question posed to each of the factions estranged from one another in the Episcopal Church USA. For the purpose of clarity these factions will be referred to as Progressive and Orthodox.

Beginning with the Progressives: How long will you continue on the present course in exclusion to the cries and pain of your fellow Christians? The answer is twofold. First, the present course has been charted over many decades. The ordination of V. Gene Robinson, the affirmation of committed gay and lesbian relationships, and the other major theological tenets of progressive Christianity, have been in development for a long time, perhaps even 100's of years.

Those who hold to this persuasion are committed to the belief that this is a genuine work of the Holy Spirit, a progression of Godly revelation, regarding social justice, love, and dignity for the disenfranchised. This view seeks to uphold the great Christian virtues of charity and justice.
