Anglican Property Wins Don’t Put an End to Legal Disputes
Last month, a South Carolina circuit court judge ruled that 36 Anglican churches in that state don’t have to turn over their property to the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina.
It was the latest decision in the long legal struggle between the Episcopal Church in South Carolina and the more conservative Anglican congregations, which officially broke away in 2012.
Anglicans believe that there is only one God, but there are three elements to this one God: God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit; that human beings' decision to reject this eternal God and live according to their own standards (sin) causes a relational breakdown between them; that God the Son, Jesus Christ, lived and died to give people a model and a way to be reconciled with God.Anglicans believe that people become members of God's Church through Baptism, and all Christians celebrate Holy Communion (also known as Eucharist) as a shared ‘meal’ (of bread/wafer and wine) which they eat together in Jesus’ name-from https://www.anglicancommunion.org/theology/doctrine.aspx Anyone who believes that dung believes a 'different jesus'....
Gene Robinson’s ordination closed the lid and laid to rest the Episcopalian denomination in America. But it was not just him, it was the systematic church process that nominated him bishop. When the split came- conservatives were thrown out after they bought and paid for churches throughout the denomination. Episcopal church systematically sought to eliminate biblical reasoning since WW2, and reasoned to place women as deacons, then priests, then Bishops. This opened the way for sodomites as deacons, priests then bishop. I wouldn’t doubt with the builders and money leaving the American Episcopalian denomination, they had their hand out when government money bags were handed out as compensation. The worship of Baal keeps moving forward.
Ten things to know about the Episcopal Church, I will highlight two of them, which shows that they really aren't Christian❗👎
Crosswalk.com, Editorial Staff wrote: 3. Episcopal doctrine holds that Scripture is the revealed word of God.
Episcopalians believe that the Holy Scriptures are the revealed word of God, and “contain all things necessary for salvation.” Far from Biblical fundamentalism, Episcopalians trust that this revealed word is best interpreted within the community of the Church, advised by tradition, reason, and the ongoing guidance of the Holy Spirit.
8. The Episcopal Church accepts and ordains people that other denominations would not.

Neither Anglicans or Episcopalians can be called Christians❗👎
My wife and I appreciate older church buildings, and having driven thru many small towns in the Eastern part of the US, often find that the older buildings are the home of liberal mainline congregations. When the conservatives left, often it meant abandoning their properties. So instead, now they build large modernistic buildings with large auditoriums or theaters with extensive lighting and sound systems to support contemporary worship.
Gone are the pews, worn by saints of old, and the natural light streaming in from the large windows. Gone is the connection to the past church. Gone with it is a connection to the past portions of thr church universal, leaving today's church adrift in its own concepts not influenced by saints before as they followed Christ.
But there is no enduring city here, but we go to one not made with hands.
