[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because Bishop Schori destroyed the Episcopal Church.  Everyone knows that.  From wikipedia under "controversies" on her page.  She was forced our after leaving the church in significant debt:  "Controversies[edit]
Jefferts Schori's tenure was highly controversial and marked by unprecedented schism, with groups from four dioceses (Fort Worth, Pittsburgh, Quincy, and San Joaquin) breaking off to become part of the Anglican Church in North America.[6] At her direction, the national church initiated lawsuits against departing dioceses and parishes, with some $22 million spent as of 2011.[7] She also established a policy that church properties were not to be sold to departing congregations.[8]

Jefferts Schori is a supporter of same-sex relationships and of the blessing of same-sex unions and civil marriages.[9] Like her predecessor, she is a supporter of abortion rights, stating that "We say it is a moral tragedy but that it should not be the government's role to deny its availability."[9] She also supported the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) mandate on birth control.

Some within the church questioned the orthodoxy of her theology. For example, her statement that "the great Western heresy – is that we can be saved as individuals, that any of us alone can be in right relationship with God" in her opening address to the 2009 General Convention was widely criticized and prompted a clarifying statement from her in the following week.[10][11]"[/quote]

No, “everybody” does not know that. Peace.[/quote]
