Does that make you happy? Where’s the “justice”, you rave about, for our evangelical Anglican brothers and sisters in Nigeria and the Sudan, many of whom now lie in shallow graves because you insist that a handful of men and women have the “right” to fulfill themselves with unbiblical sexual lusts.

Are you happy that you have dumped and trampled all over the faith for a handful of pansexualists (less than 2 percent of the total population -- an even smaller group in TEC) who have turned TEC into a sexual pretzel? For your efforts, you have lost over 200,000 members in the last five years, not to mention countless priests and double-digit bishops?

Are you proud of the fact that you have spent nearly $40 million on lawsuits, with no end in sight, all in the name of a false inclusion? Well done. You have cluster f**ked (another of the 58 sexualities) the church. Brilliant.

Your run ins with the Global South have proven futile. They are not going to change their mind, not for you, not for Archbishop Justin Welby, not for the Anglican Consultative Council, not for Trinity Wall Street, not for all the talk of reconciliation or inclusion, not even for Satan himself if he appeared as an angel of light. You have managed to manipulate with money the entire Anglican Province of Southern Africa and, more recently, The Anglican Province of Tanzania. You are doing your mightiest to swing The Congo and Central Africa to your point of view, but all you are doing is making those archbishops dig in their toes not to capitulate to you for money. You haven’t got a prayer with Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda, not even if Hell froze over…and they represent more than 70% of the entire Anglican Communion!

For the past 40 years, you have whined and cajoled, passed resolutions praising sex outside of marriage (that used to be called fornication), but you changed the language and made it sound softer and more inclusive…and you got away with it.

Sooner or later, you’re gonna lose. You have lots of money, but you have no gospel of Good News to proclaim and your congregations are greying, aging and dying. The crosses on your churches are now empty symbols, no longer proclaiming Christ’s substitutionary atonement; they have become phallic crosses of inclusion. Your chalices no longer contain the “cup of salvation” but the chalice of diversity.

You recently admitted that diocesan boundaries make no sense as dioceses shrink and slowly die. Oh, what irony. A few short years ago, you railed at Global South archbishops for crossing diocesan boundaries and now you openly admit they make no sense. History is catching up with you. Fiat Lux.

You Episcopal Liberals, progressives and pansexualists have spent the last four decades pushing first the bishops, and then infiltrating the seminaries, perverting a new generation of priests into dumbing down congregations into accepting homosexuality. Now you scratch your heads wondering why a handful of homosexual wing nuts like Gene Robinson, Otis Charles et al have managed to co-opt the church with nary a single new parish or mass influx of new Episcopalians to support it. Even Louie Crew’s call for gay Roman Catholics to come on over fell on deaf ears. They never came.

Robinson and Spong have repeatedly said that church teachings must “evolve and change” in response to demands of the world. Really. Robinson himself has demanded that biblical standards on marriage be jettisoned – and to make his case recently got his second divorce, this time from his male spouse. So where’s the win for TEC, pray tell? As my southern friends would say, has this made ya’ll happy?

You have "reimagined", "re-envisioned," and “TREC’ed” yourself to numerical death. For what? To make yourselves feel good and make you heroes of the culture? Has this grown the church? Do you think that your bishops strutting their stuff at Gay Pride Parade Days would see an influx of pansexualists into the church? Not happening. Those men and women are busy doing other things on Sunday morning you don’t want to know about; then they drink coffee, read the newspaper on their iPads and start all over again. The last thing on their minds is church and what TEC has done to the Book of Common Prayer.

As I write, you face the biggest real estate crisis in TEC’s history. Somewhere between $500 million and $800 million dollars worth of church properties hangs in the legal balance in South Carolina. Initial indications are that you and TEC will lose. Even if you should win, what exactly will that look like? What will you do with 400 clergy and 50 congregations? You have deposed all the priests and now you will have to shutter all the buildings. There won’t be enough parishioners to keep the churches open. Where’s the win? There aren’t enough Muslims to sell the properties too and there is a limitation on saloons.

So you have to ask yourself, has brokering pansexuality into the Church reallybeen worth it? Has turning the Church into a sexual pretzel been a win-win for you and your bishops?

So what are your options?

You have two. You can keep going the way you are going and watch you and the Church slowly disintegrate with merging dioceses, closed parishes and bury yourself in debt with lawsuits, or you can turn around, repent and change direction.

If you think, by some delusion, that the small handful of conservative dioceses will make up the losses, think again. Not happening. As things now stand, only 41 out of 100 dioceses are giving their full assessment; over time that will dwindle. You are not making new converts and there’s the rub.

There is such a thing as collective sin. Achan’s sin (keeping bounty he was told not to keep found in Joshua 7:1) resulted in the death of his entire family. It also affected the entire nation of Israel. The nation as a whole was in a covenant relationship with God and, when one member transgressed that covenant, the entire nation’s relationship with Him was damaged. Achan's sin defiled the other members of the community, as well as himself. A similar situation is happening in TEC. Homosexuality has defiled the whole body. God cannot bless the few when the many are busy defiling his church. God will not permit it. He demands full repentance.

You would also have to recommit yourself to the timeless truths of Scripture and preach a gospel of redemption, grace and reconciliation through the death and resurrection of Jesus. Of course to do that, you would have to admit that you are wrong and that the ACNA folk got it right and make amends to Archbishop Bob Duncan and his successor Archbishop Foley Beach and all the bishops you have deposed. My guess is that you won’t be doing that any time soon.

You can go on ordaining women to the priesthood and episcopacy with not one scintilla of evidence that any of them have the ability to lead a soul to Christ or made a church or diocese grow.

You can mess with the Prayer Book to make it “fit” with contemporary thinking, but that won’t see a rush of new faces into the church, either.

You are compromising with the culture and relativizing yourselves into a slow oblivion.

You still have a choice, however, a window of opportunity, small though it may be. You can metanoia – turn around, repent, go in the opposite direction and pray earnestly that God will forgive you.

Or you can continue to be the church of spiritual sedition and abject apostasies.

It’s your choice.

The clock is ticking.
