The state promotes LGBTQ agenda, why did the church jumped on it? If the state do not own the church? Ask yourself.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

I see that you just want to have the last word, so I'll let you have it. You can post whatever you like, I won't read it or reply.

Igboslayer:
Believe the first amendment at your own peri.

The question you should ask yourself is why is it easy for the Episcopal Church to break away from the bible doctrine of the Anglican communion and embrace the State sponsored gay right, LGBTQ and other equity agenda to the detriment of destroying relationships with other churches that do not share the same values.

Why do you think it was possible for them to uphold this values? If truly there are separation of powers as given by the first amendment...don't be fooled. Looks like you did not visit this site

https://www.episcopalchurch.org/ministries/office-government-relations/ongoing-work/ to be properly informed about the stance of US government on gay right and how Episcopal church are part of its social engineering tools to promote it. Does this sound like adherence to the first amendment?

This is comical. You have accepted that the United States Government does not own the Episcopal Church, or are you now going back on what you said? Are you now saying that the Episcopal Church is owned by the United States Government.

Igboslayer:
1) You claimed that the Episcopal Church is owned by the US State. Is this true? (yes or no will suffice). Yes based on their history until they left The Church of England... still under indiect control of the government. You may want to visit
this site on clarity. https://www.episcopalchurch.org/ministries/office-government-relations/ongoing-work/

2) Are there churches in the US and Canada that have pledged allegiance to churches in the global south, for example the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) and the Church of Rwanda? (A simple yes or no will suffice)

Yes there are churches that have strategic partnership with the Nigerian church and other churches based on doctrine. The question is of what relevance is this to the subject matter.

So also they are other churches that pledge allegiance to the Church of England...even though Episcopal churches are not under the control of England and still holds the same values in some doctrines like the gay right issues, yet Independent.

3) Are these churches forced to ordain gay clergy and conduct same sex marriages? (A simple yes or no will suffice). No they don't but they mostly congregate under police protection most times in heavily populated areas. Why do they assemble under protection?

Thank God you have admitted your error in 2 of the 3. Now to cure your error in the 3.

1) The doctrine of separation of church and state is an essential law in the United States. The First Amendment of the United States Constitution states that, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." This means that the government owns no religion or religious organisation. This has been further reinforced by many decisions of the United States Supreme Court. The Episcopal Church does not belong to the United States Government and this is as clear as day.


Now to re-emphasis the other issues.

2) There are churches in the United States that have pledged allegiance to churches in the global south like the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion). This is a fact.

3) No church is forced to ordain gay clergy or to conduct same sex marriages (in fact, the Respect For Marriage Act that was recently signed by President Biden emphasizes this fact).

C'est fini.
