The Episcopal Church has existed since the 1700s. Before that, they were just the Church of England, which has been around since 597, though polemicists usually propose a later date because a sovereign who attempted to effect its independence was an unpleasant person. (In fact, it was his daughter who achieved the independence of the church.) As for being "barely considered Christians," I guess that depends on who you ask. There are people who barely consider Catholics, Orthodox, Methodists, Baptists, Pentecostals, etc. Christians--or outright deny that they are Christians. I find that such "considerations" are usually based on myths, cherry-picking bad actors, or an unreasonably exclusive definition of "Christian." And people who make these judgments are usually blind to the faults of their own communities. Mote and a beam and all that.



Are there any major denominations that do not allow ministers to be gay? If so, how do they enforce this? How do they even detect a gay minister, especially one who is celibate? Penile plethsymographs and pornography? Exposure to showtunes? Sting operations with cooperating altar boys?
And the Episcopalian apologetics are as disingenuous as you'd expect. Stay on topic.
 
This is a very religious and theological thread!

Now, does Saint Floyd the Martyr actively perform miracles for those who pray to him or does he merely sit back and watch us mortals from heaven?

Umm, Catholic priests aren’t allowed to be gay. Fairly sure 1.4 Billion counts as a “major denomination”.

Sneed's Feed & Seed. -EED.

Formerly Chuck's. -UCK. Chuck's F - and S - .

Chuck used to own a prostitute stand with the play on words.

But what does any of that have to do with Floyd/Chauvin? Is it just more autistic teenage boys snickering while derailing important conversations? That would piss me off if normies don’t get to
understand what’s going on here just because some jackasses with acne keep posting brainless memes online.

Well boyos, apparently we had a Shwartz hearing today about suspected misconduct.
What do we think happened?
1. Social media use.
2. Communication.
3. Intimidation.
4. Other input your own.

If any of 1-3 are possible, then the jury must not be sequestered, or at least sequestered properly.

Its impossible to understand why what is happening to society is happening without an understanding of faith and understanding human nature. If you give humans license to murder they will murder (abortion, state sponsored massacres, wars), if you give them free reign to loot they will. Its in their heart.

The core restraint on most people is the fear of God. Lose that and this is the result for society as a whole.

Theres a reason the rot is worse than usual. A categorical rejection of God and we are under a judgement of a reprobate mind (romans 1). Its a cycle that happens over and over. Here is Isiah's admonition to Israel shortly before they were carried off to Babylon.

Isiah
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! 21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

Paul said the same thing of the Romans in Romans 1 I believe. Its a historical cycle. We all know and read of people doing this exact thing, calling evil good and good evil, legalizing sin and criminalizing righteousness.

This sermon here directly addresses who is responsible for the riots and why it occurred in the first place.
 
Again. They'll be on fire again. If you're going to threaten people with violence it helps to remind them of your past willingness to be violent.
It doesn't matter, does it. Those mobs will be allowed to do as they please. No government agency will go against them. No militia will rise up to smite the Black Plague. And she knows this.
