The problem is (if you do not comprehend) is that THEY are CHOOSING to eliminate all male references, and attempting to instill TRANSGENDER ideology into GOD's WORD! That alone makes them as evil as if they were Hitler Himself in his attempt to annihilate God's Choosen People and promote a Superior Evolved Race !
No, no, I know a lot of Episcopalians and I've talked about this. It has nothing to do with transgenders. It's about women, who are taking over the church, as there are no longer enough men who want to run it. You can see that it would be awkward for women to be bishops and yet constantly refer to God and everything else important as male.
The OP refers to the Episcopal Church in "freefall" and it is indeed. In my county, two old Episcopal Churches have closed and the rest can't find "normal" ministers. One is way out in the country and its last minister was a temp who was a black male well over the age of retirement; and now they have hired an open lesbian with a "wife," and these insist on living in the lovely stone manse by the church. (This is really happening.) They are both also well over the age of retirement. This church had 70 attendees only. How many do you think they will have with the new regime? They will close, I predict.
My friend, a leftist, told me indignantly that one of the vestry said he didn't see why they couldn't just hire a man. Well, the real answer is that there aren't any. Because the Episcopalian Church is dying: using marginalized attention-seekers for ministers is a sign. They wouldn't if they had an alternative.
The Maryland Bishop, who is a black male, hired another bishop by the simple expedient of lying to the delegates about her record of alcohol arrests. He didn't tell them about it. This massively obese woman who could hardly walk then drank herself sloppy in church and drove home, texting at the moment she ran over and killed a young engineer, father of two. You may have read about this in the news. This is a dying church.
