The paradigm that Anglican Christians in The Episcopal Church are now living is that of Egyptian slavery. The Israelites could take from Egypt only what they could steal. That's because slaves have no property rights. I'm NOT saying that those who depart TEC have no legal right to property. What I AM saying is that TEC wants its orthodox members to act like slaves. The $3+ million in TEC's litigation budget is their whip. For many Anglicans in TEC, the choice is now coming down to Freedom or Slavery. Property is very often just an issue of pride that interferes with choosing one or the other. For those now struggling with the choice, let's also note that Moses made the Israelites destroy in the Wilderness much of what they took from Egypt, notably their liturgies and implements for worship of foreign gods. The lesson from this would be "just because you can take it (legally or illegally) doesn't mean you should."
The time has come for many orthodox Anglicans in The Episcopal Church to choose. Robert Frost was recently quoted by the head of the new Anglican Church of North America, saying "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the road less traveled by. That has made all the difference."
How true.
