In Maine: RC or TEC?

The Roman Catholic Bishop of Maine has vowed to support a public referendum to overturn the Law passed by the Legislature and signed by the Government. So here is my plea:

If you are a Roman Catholic in Maine who disagrees with your Bishop and your Pope, and we know there are lots of you, the Episcopal Church Welcomes You.

Not every person in The Episcopal Church will welcome you but know that your Bishop publicy supported equal access to marriage. You will be a part of a church that is still working on this issue as a whole, but has a polity that allows it to change. The doctrine of the Episcopal Church is based on the prayerful consideration of scripture, tradition and reason. It is not imposed.

We have the same sacraments and the same same belief in Apostolic succession.

Join us and work with us to make the Episcopal Church an institution that lives out the Gospel as we understand it: Love God, Love your neighbor as yourself... and you are God's Beloved.
