@ScottMacFie....With 2020 just 8 years away, I'd say your prediction is going to be premature. But I think by 2111 (if humanity lasts that long) nothing resembling Christianity will remain and it will have morphed into a twisted fundamentalist hate group. "Love your neighbor as yourself" (Mark 12;31) is rapidly vanishing from the Christian scene and is increasingly replaced by "hate everyone different from us." Those who DO love their neighbor are fleeing Christianity and religion.
The Episcopal Church in the US will be gone by 2020. Completely. Whether joined with UMC, or Lutheran in some weird "United" church of America, it will be gone. ACNA and CANA will be competing for the true "Anglican" Orthodox voice of the US. TEC shot itself in the foot, and the demographics aren't in favor of long-term sustainability. The names and faces of those who wrecked it, will be long gone, having moved on to other pastures. Watch and learn.
@sharegrace You are Blind & in Denial of Truth. Do you not know that Jesus did NOT grant an exclusive patent on the Gospel nor on salvation to any person or group? And further, that He strongly condemned the Apostles when they DARED to ask Him to call down fire from heaven on those preaching & healing in Jesus' Name....who were 'not of their group'?
After rebuking them He said:"He who is not against Me is with Me".
@szybkilopez566 "You'd better be careful with locutions, there's no point risking your salvation."
Perhaps you should tell that to....Moses...Isaiah, Daniel, Ezekiel, Hosea, Elijah, Enoch, St.John the Divine & I guess that poor Jewish teenager in Bethlehem named Mary should ignore that pesky angel.......
@bombuchu Jesus did not found what you know as 'organized religion'. He founded a spiritual family of those who would seek to live His teachings )the Gospel) & believe in Him. God judges the heart - not which denomination or faith (or none at all..) which one is of; nor which doctrine one holds.
The Vatican does not believe in God nor does it live the Catholic Faith
Devout Anglicans have great love for Jesus & know His Gospel. Convert to....what? They already know God.
It's a welcome news. Thank you.

@JPI280978 The experiment has failed. it is great to see Anglicans and soon Episcopalians come home to the true Church.
Christ wants us all to be one.
Pray for peace.
