They would be the only good protestants if not for the fact that all of them are gay
This is proof top-down rule is necessary to keep a church from going too crazy. Church should focus on dogma, not on what the average person believes. Either someone follows the rules, or they get shown the door.
This is proof top down rule is the source of the craziness when you compare episcopalians to southern baptists for example
So what top down rule makes them obsessed with rainbow flags and stuff?
I don't think the one causes the other, I think leftists seize power wherever possible. It's the ideology of progressivism.
What about auth right?
What about it
Can't auth right get into power and control the people from the top down like Lenny Belardo?
There is hardly a single Protestant denomination that doesn't have both liberal and conservative churches. Congregationalist denominations are by no means an exception.
Yet top down rule seems correlated with a rejection of traditional doctrine and practice
How so?
TEC and UMC are hierarchical and progressive while SBC and non-denoms are locally autonomous and socially conservative
ANCA and FMC are hierarchical and conservative, ABCUSA are locally autonomous and progressive.
I think the correlation still stands especially considering these communions exist by contrast with their mainline equivalent. Compare the free church to the established church in any given European country and you see the same thing.
I guess, but could you say the same for the Lutheran churches? LCMS is on a way more equal footing with the mainliners in ELCA compared to the Methodists and the Anglicans.
I'm not in the Lutheran world but I do think wels and lcms offer more autonomy than elca
This. It's a shame that such a historically important denomination has become synonymous with liberal sellouts.
Historically important? They are just American Anglicans who didn't want the British king as the head of their church. I guess it is somewhat important for American history, but even then it feels quite insignificant given how religiously diverse the US has always been.
Episcopalians were influential way beyond their numbers. They defined the American upper class outside of New England up to the 1950s, rivaled only by the Presbyterians.
Diet Catholicism. Way too liberal but still slightly less gay than actual Catholics.
I would be one if I were Christian because they're the closest thing America has to an "official" church and they're by far one of the most progressive denominations. Also I like the architecture of their churches—traditional enough to be appealing, but not ostentatious.
just seems like more weird reactionary behavior from anglo americans who want to prove they're more english than the english
It was a decent church once but these days it's just a vehicle to push American liberalism while the actual Anglicans either went to the ACNA or gave up and just became Catholic or Orthodox.
Old episcopalianism is cool.
ACNA carries on those traditions, while the "Episcopal Church" went full retard.
Similar thing happened with Lutherans, Presbyterians, and now Methodists.
Traditionalist congregations had to break off to get away from globohomo stupidity.
protestants with catholic characteristics
