We’re going to be touching on many cultural issues that are on a collision course with orthodox Christian faith, and no subject is more volatile, right now, than the issue of gay clergy and same sex “blessings” within the church. First the news, which isn’t really a surprise considering the trajectory the Episcopalians have been on for some time: Schism closer as US Anglicans vote to overturn ban on gay ordinations

Clergy and laity in the US backed a motion that “acknowledges that God has called and may call any individual in the Church to any ordained ministry in the Episcopal Church, in accordance with the discernment process set forth in the Constitution and Canons of the Church”.

The article goes on to explain that this motion opens the door and that the bishop’s vote, expected in the next few days, will seal the deal on a formal schism in the Anglican Communion.

The Episcopalian Church in America is about to go over the cliff and descend into outright and open heresy. This situation with the Episcopalians is representative of the terrible path many Christian denominations are on as they reject orthodoxy in favor of following the culture and allowing the “social gospel” of liberal theology to completely blind them to their own error. This is the consequence when Christians stop listening to the Word of God and start following their own “itching ears”(2 Timothy 4:3) and the “doctrine of demons”(1 Timothy 4:1). And make no mistake, there are many mainstream denominations in the United States that are just one step behind the E.C.A. on this one – maybe even just a half-step.
