Anglican - Episcopal Civil War

The whole of America's Episcopal faith is opposed by the similar faith abroad , the Anglican church. Liberal minded Episcopalians support the ordination of women and openly practising homosexuals, same sex blessings and diverse theological, secular beliefs. Conservative minded Episcopalians and Anglicans abroad support traditional ordination of men only, celibacy for homosexuals only and traditional theological, secular beliefs.

The civil war as been rumbling since the ordination of woman in the seventies and has come to a crises in the past few years because of homosexual issues. The liberal Episcopal church ordained an openly homosexual bishop, Bishop V. Gene Robinson of New Hampshire in 2003 and some parishes have granted same sex blessings.

The resolution of the war will probably result in a liberal Episcopal church in America possibly seperate from the world wide Anglican communion and a conservative Anglican church in America as well.
