Sherman, my sister left the Episcopal church about 5 years ago. She had attended there for 17 years. Became too hard left for her. I had visited her church in San Antonio a few times and her kids attended their school thru 8th grade. But the church took a turn about 8 years ago. The long-time priest there retired. She called me to discuss. She was heart broken. They finally found a new church. It started with talking about "white supremacy" in sermons. The Presbyterian Church USA went the same way. I left there 10 years ago. It's really sad and disturbing what some of these Christian denominations have moved into.
You may want to begin asking a different question about TEC. It may be less of a concern whether Republicans are welcome, and more of a concern whether this denomination is more of a political/social place than it is a spiritual/religious home for those gathered together by the Holy Spirit.
By the way, I realize Anglicans/Episcopalians were somewhat late to join the ranks of the Reformation churches, but you let October 31st go by without even a whisper of mention that it was Reformation Day. Today is All Saints Day.
Sadly it's not just the Episcopal Church with this problem.
Most churches lost there way and their voice when Johnson silenced them by putting an IRS target on them. They then sold out for a tax deduction.
In the last 15 years they have seen a surge to the left and embraced social changes accepting abortion and gay rights without speaking out on the biblical teachings.
Unfortunately it's even became ok for churches to bash Conservatives and praise Liberals and their causes because they knew the government was supporting them.
Thankfully it looks like the tide is turning , even if it is only temporary.
TEC: This Is Your Wake-up Call...HHAHA these are my initials, i though there was a personal note smack in the middle of your message...as we march toward the rapture and 2nd coming, we can see the world prepped for it's total acceptance and jubilation at the 'removal' of christians...imo (imho) it is going to get worse, before it gets better...i can feel the cold eyes everywhere, i am a christian and speak it loud, and that is not good, add white woman working, and i am highly suspect
Sherm stop picking on the Episcopalians. Maybe we should have an Episcopalian Party instead of a Republican Party or a Democratic Party. Now say Episcopalian 10 times fast. I dare you. Give me five Hail Mary's and a Bloody Mary and sin no more.

Heartbreaking, for sure.

I kept hitting “comment” where I always have and it kept taking me to Substack.
If the Episcopal Church has TDS what is their alternative? Certainly not the Dems who resist Gods teachings in the most awful ways possible.
Sad to see the state of the Episcopal church. Seems they're following the Church of England as far as their bringing politics into God's house.
Then again, since God is everywhere, why do we need a specific building to worshio Him?

Can you make that a Colorado Bulldog, instead.
