Yes because obviously if God can't be masculine then he's not really God and not worth having. [/quote]

Well, the Bible actually says God is our Father.

Jesus refers to God as his Father in the Bible as well.

Not genderless being. Not mother. Father. God the Father.

And don't Episcopalians pray the Our Father like all Christian religions? That prayer is universal in Christianity.

Don't Episcopalians baptize in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit? This is also universal in much of Christianity.

[b]If Episcopalian leadership really wants to deviate so far from Biblical teachings, then they should just bite the bullet and separate entirely from Christianity and the Bible.

They can announce that they are no longer Christian and create some sort of fellowship with UUs.

If the Bible is simply a suggestion and the teachings and words of Christ are irrelevant in their leadership's mind then it is really a joke for them to call themselves Christian.

+2.  Since ECUSA is at the end of its 3 year suspension and a task force was put in place to help bring it back within the worldwide Anglican communion, I interpret this announcement as a "F.U." to returning to the 80 million worldwide church, ergo it will be on its own from now on.  It doesn't have the money to survive.  Witness the yoga classes in National Cathedral.[/quote]
