Here is a brilliant article that summarizes my thinking recently about the Episcopal church. We are committing suicide. We have adopted an anti-life agenda pushed by "progressives". This agenda includes all the usual positions for abortion, homosexual normalization, childlessness.
Our new Presiding Bishop Katherine Jefferts Schori makes clear that she advocates demographic suicide through barrenness.
"The Presiding Bishop was asked how many Episcopalians there are in the U.S. "About 2.2 million," Schiori responded. "It used to be larger percentagewise, but Episcopalians tend to be better-educated and tend to reproduce at lower rates than some other denominations. Roman Catholics and Mormons both have theological reasons for producing lots of children."
"Aren't Episcopalians interested in replenishing their ranks by having children," the New York Times asked.
"No," Schori replied. "It's probably the opposite. We encourage people to pay attention to the stewardship of the earth and not use more than their portion."
True to Schori's boast, the Episcopalians have done magnificently in reducing their numbers and, purportedly, sparing the earth the ravages of an enlarged Episcopalian presence. Forty years ago, the Episcopal Church was over 50 percent larger than today, even while the U.S. population was 40 percent smaller. "

We no longer worship a God who said, "Go forth and multiply." Instead we worship barrenness - as if it were a new virtue.
