Good for Fort Worth. The Episcopal Church, which is the Anglican fellowship in America, is basically Christian in name only.
The theologically conservative Diocese of Fort Worth
voted Saturday to split from the liberal-leaning Episcopal Church, the
fourth traditional diocese to do so in a long-running debate over the
Bible, homosexual relationships and other issues.About 80 percent of clergy and parishioners in the Texas diocese supported
the break in a series of votes at a diocesan convention.

I also say good for them, but I know this is also very difficult for many orthodox Episcopalians. My grandfather is an Episcopal deacon, and I know he is quite depressed over the decline and fall of his church. Also, nobody wants to disobey the Bishop and subvert authority, but there is no alternative. It’s a sad situation.
