The Episcopal Faith is running to the gates of Hell faster than any other that I’ve seen or heard of, except for the “liberal ‘Catholic’” ecclesiastical community, which is Episcopalianism by any other name. Some of the older “mainstream” liberal Protestant churches are hot on the Episcopalians’ heels.
I’d rather have a fundamentalist who hates Rome, than a liberal who is friendly to Rome but denies Scripture (and maybe even God), denies creation, resurrects old Christological heresies, is absolutely relativistic and “inclusivist”, has Imams in the church to lead “interfaith prayer services”, is latitudinarian, “marries” homosexuals, ordains females to whatever kind of preachership they have (i.e. Episcopalians, compare John Shelby Spong).
Note, I only speak of the “normal” Episcopal Faith Community USA and to a lesser degree the established Anglican Church, not of Continuing Anglicans or others who attempt to retain some form of Christianity in their religion.
It’s hard to determine whether normal Episcopalianism (not Anglo-Catholicism or Continuing Anglicanism, but average Episcopalianism, as represented by the popular authors and representatives of that tradition on the popular and academic levels, cf. again John Shelby Spong) is any more Christian than Jehovah’s Witnessism or Mormonism is, anymore, especially at the educated level (cf. yet again John Shelby Spong: I’m sure on the average layman level most believe in the Trinity, God, Atonement, Scripture, etc.), where it seems to be replaying the early American Unitarian heresy all over again, garbed in the postmodern postchristian “multicultural” inclusivist pluralism of early 21st century liberal American academia.
