| | Episcopal Church 'hijacked' with election of gay bishop - The Washington Times: Culture, etc. |
 | | After that, the Episcopal Church actively supports the blessings of same-sex "marriages" as if they were holy and good and something from God. | | | The Episcopal Church is no longer a worthy vessel to carry God's truth to the world. | | | And like those planes of [September 11], our church is being used to destroy not only those inside in the name of some false god, but to destroy the lives of others, outside the church &; people like you and me who don't yet know the love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America |
| | In 1852 the Bishop of North Carolina, Dr. Ives, resigned his position in the Episcopal Church and submitted to the Apostolic See, and he was followed into the Catholic Church by a considerable number, both of clergymen and laymen. | | | White, now rector of Christ Church, and a doctor of divinity, believed that if the Episcopal Church was ever to live and grow in America it must assent to, and adopt as far as possible, the principle of representative government. | | | They were indeed exceedingly High Churchmen, and had made such alterations in the liturgy as brought their doctrine of the Holy Eucharist very near to that of the Catholic Church. |

| | Will the Episcopal Church break up? By Deborah Caldwell |
| | Archbishop Peter Akinola, head of the Anglican Church of Nigeria, condemned Robinson's election as "a Satanic attack" on the 2.3 million-member Episcopal Church, which is the U.S. branch of the Anglican Communion. | | | This is because, beginning in 1994, the church added another category to reports sent each year by parishes: "others active in congregations." This means people who regularly worship, give money, and actively contribute their time, but who haven't yet officially joined the church. | | | Meanwhile, liberals already in the church will congratulate themselves, and the controversy will put the Episcopal Church on the map for other liberal Christians who hadn't heard much about it before—and who might be inclined to join as a result. |
