L...Punched out of TEC 4 years ago, after 58 years. Long enough that I was confirmed by Moses. (Bishop William Moses, that is.) The diocese is relatively traditional, though one seventh of the parishes have left and/or split. My final 3 years were at the "Church of Laodicea," also reasonably traditional. However, you never would even guess there were any issues worth discussing, since they were not going to let any of that deflect them from "doing God's work." (Or jeopardize the mortgage or rector's pension.) I had thought it would be a sad day when I left for the last time, but instead, it was as if a great load had been lifted off my shoulders. Knowing you are complicit in your actions does weigh heavily on one. Four years later, I seldom even think of TEC and the antics of ++Kate, except for rare times when I see old friends who are still there, waiting out their time on this earth. Being a member of a slowly growing CANA/ACNA parish which is just breaking ground on the first phase of the new church is more than enough to keep me busy. <br /><br />My prayers to you to find the path God want you, personally, to follow. <br /><br />TregTregonseehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01705100658499499100noreply@blogger.com
