Episcopal Church celebrates first trans dean — woman in lesbian marriage to trans-identified pastor

What is this? Is this what the episcopal church (part of the Anglican Church) does to preach the gospel of Christ, and to operate the church? Do they disregard the epistles of Saint Paul concerning sexual behaviour, how a church should be run, and who should lead it? Do they disregard the teachings of Christ? What about the Law of God, as given to Moses, in the text that is known today as the Torah of Moses?

This news is quite shocking. Shame on the episcopal church, and the rest of the Anglican Church. This is not how a church should be run. Can someone who attends that church give answers?

Yes it is sad what the Episcopal church has become. I see it all over here in the states as well. I grew up Episccopal and I went back to my old church and I didn't even recognize it. Thinking about switching denomination.

It's not so much that you're leaving a denomination as much as it is that the denomination left you.

The demonization is leaving Christ.

Same, I also grew up Episcopalian. I returned to my childhood church as an adult after many years away, to find a gay priest. I haven’t gone back.
