Hold in your mind the thought of that heroic and holy Ugandan Anglican bishop. Now read this. It's about an Anglican priest from England who moved to India and converted to Hinduism, and began serving as a Hindu priest there. He's just had his permission to serve as an Anglican priest in his English diocese renewed for three years. The diocese said they had no idea he'd become a Hindu, even though he wrote a book about it. No word in the story about whether or not they're going to withdraw his permission, or defrock him (as he ought to have done); the priest thinks there should be no objection to his serving as an Anglican priest in good standing when back in England.
If this cat's bishop defrocks him, I'll be absolutely shocked. But delighted.

What a friggin' joke. This, in a nutshell, is why there are now more Muslims attending weekly worship services than Anglicans in England. They take their faith seriously. We play Mickey Mouse grab-ass.

rjak134,
I think of my own departure from the Episcopal Church for that of the Lutheran Confessions, and Psalm 113 (Vulg.)/114 comes to mind - -
Alleluia.
In exitu Israel de Aegypto,
Domus Iacob de populo barbaro [!],
Facta est Judaea sanctificatio eius,
Israel potestas eius. ...
A facie Domini mota est terra,
A facie Dei Iacob;
Qui convertit petram in stagna aquarum,
Et rupem in fontes aquarum.>
Sorry - - Iudaea.>
