The Episcopalian Church -- the American branch of the Anglican Communion, has accepted openly gay priests and has begun developing rites for same sex marriages. This has ruffled the moustaches of the African and Latin American Anglican churches -- go figure -- and has led to serious discussion of schism.
Archbishop Rowan Williams insisted that the issue should not be debated “in apocalyptic terms of schism and excommunication but plainly as what they are — two styles of being Anglican.”
Yes. The one type of Anglican you are on Sundays in church, and the other type of Anglican you are on Mondays in a public bathroom.
Willful deception among the ranks: It worked for the Army. I'm sure it will go swimmingly for the Church.
