Well until you follow the link you would thinkthis would belong in the Political forum. You will see why I posted it.

Please folks be non-political as possible in your replies, I would hate to have to move this thread to the political forum.

Some back ground on the Episcopal Church.
She seems to be a Faithful commited Christian.


The Episcopal Church is the American branch of the Anglican Communion. The Anglican Communion is an inheritor of 2000 years of catholic and apostolic tradition dating from Christ himself, rooted in the Church of England. When the Church of England spread throughout the British Empire, sister churches sprang up. These churches, while autonomous in their governance, are bound together by tradition, Scripture, and the inheritance they have received from the Church of England. They together make up the Anglican Communion, a body headed spiritually by the Archbishop of Canterbury and having some 80 million members, making it the second largest Christian body in the world.
The Episcopal Church came into existence as an independent denomination after the American Revolution. Today it has between two and three million members in the United States, Mexico, and Central America, all of which are under jurisdiction of the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, Edmond Browning.

I am one of those who backs President Bush on most of his decisions because of his faith. I am also one of the ones who was very disappointed in him not picking someone who was clearly a known conservative. I am trying to give him the benefit of the doubt here since he knows her much better than we do. Hearing about her faith in Christ is a big step in the right direction. She might well be a "stealth candidate" who gets in because her views aren't widely known, but turns out to be very conservative -- that would suit me just fine.

Hasn't the Episcopal church officially embraced and accepted homosexuality and homosexual marriage?
