"Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, the Anglican spiritual leader, had attended the Episcopal national meeting in Anaheim, Calif., in its opening days last week. He said, 'I hope and pray that there won't be decisions in the coming days that could push us further apart.'"

Nero. Rome. Fiddle.

The sadness is that there remain many devout Christians in TEC whose leaders have betrayed them (once again, I suppose you could say). Pity them and pray for them, for they are not at fault here, or at least guilty only of loving a church and their ideals and memories of it too much to leave it even as those who do guide its path have run what was once a perfectly seaworthy vessel on the rocks. Some say it had to happen, but I disagree. However, it has happened, and the loss is tragic.

Exactly: not news. In that church the upper middle class gets what it wants.

Fogey,
I'm wondering why you call this an upper middle class issue. Many churches have lots of folks from the upper middle class yet don't approve of ordaining gays.

As Terry Mattingly wrote in GetReligion, 'a church rooted in the elite structures of the Northeast’s urban corridor'.
