The Primate of "the Gay Church" (as per Gene Robinson, the Gay Bishop) calls individualism a "heresy".

well the wierd thing is TEC is usually very pro-not needing to be a Christian at all to be saved.

What I think is hilarious is the fact that the leader of what one of its bishops (approvingly) calls "the Gay Church" would claim that individualism is a heresy, when they are one of the best examples of individualism gone crazy in the Church.

Wow, that is ridiculous. Very . . . un-Episcopalian.
Clearly, we should have picked a better woman to consecrate.

...alexander did we just agree on something having to do with religion

sweeeet

The funny thing is tho, having been an Evangelical all my life (ie exactly the type of Christian she's attacking), I really understand Schori's concern, even if I'd probably disagree with her in the specifics. But I thought it was ironic for her, of all people, to say it.

It's just such a bizarre thing for an Episcopalian to say, especially such a high-ranking one.

I mean, it's not entirely un-Episcopalian, in that the Episcopal Church does (as far as I can tell, I mean, I haven't studied said church, just grown up in it) stress -community- more than the -individual- . . . but to me, I think that's mostly about the individual being able to follow his path with the support of a community that cares about him. And either way, it's a totally separate issue from individual -salvation-, rejecting which seems not only un-Episcopalian but downright un-Christian . . .
