Schism

The Episcopals are splitting, understandably so. This is a result of a battle between secular infiltration of the Episcopal denomination and those who desire to maintain their Christianity.

I've read quite a bit on church history. Schisms have been happening from the very beginning, with various sects forming and reforming based on competing ideas and principles. The split of the Church of England from Rome was particularly interesting. Martin Luther's rebellion against a corrupt Roman church was understandable in its historic context.

I believe that the secular takeover of American Episcopalians as well as many other large Protestant denominations will eventually lead to their downfall as viable religious organizations. Because when you no longer stand for anything, there's no longer a reason for people to affiliate.

Given the open war on religion from the American atheist left, I think it is a shame that those churches that still hold fast to the tenets of their faith are too absorbed in age-old interfaith disputes to unite together to save the faith from this national attack. I'm listening to the atheist political left, and they are no longer disguising their intentions - to drive religion out of American society by any means necessary.

As sad as it may be, I think other serious Christians in denominations being infiltrated and taken over by anti-Christian activists should either band together to reclaim their denominations or follow the example of those Episcopal churches that are abandoning their anti-Christian leaders.
