FUTURE OF THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH
Ted Olsen, writing on the CT weblog: That's right. All this talk of "alternative oversight" and "flying bishops" and whatnot is probably beside the point now. Yes, the liberals had the votes to approve the openly gay Gene Robinson as bishop. But orthodox Christians make up the majority of the Anglican Primates (leaders of the international Anglican provinces, such as the Church of Nigeria, the Episcopal Church USA, etc.). And they'd rather see the Episcopal Church USA declared non-Anglican and start afresh with an orthodox church than to let the Episcopal Church USA's Robinson decision stand and merely set up an alternative church for those opposed to gay bishops and marriages.
