458-508 – • LATblogs (7/14/09) Episcopal Church, at Anaheim convention, moves to end ban on gay bishops. What would you do if your church or denomination ordained homosexual clergy?
• Washington Times (7/13/09) Episcopal bishop warns of further schism.
(My Summary): The Anglican Communion has 77 million members worldwide, and the US branch, known as the Episcopal Church, has 2.1 million members. Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, heads the Anglican Communion. Katharine Jefferts Schori heads the Episcopal Church. The surface issue is homosexuality, gay marriage, and the ordination of gay clergy. The deeper issue is inerrancy and whether the Bible really is the Word of God. Episcopalians who believe the Bible have seceded to form a conservative denomination called the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA). Williams has urged Schori not to lift the ban on gay clergy. Schori and the Episcopal leadership in America want full gay equality. The rest of the global Anglican church does not. Schori and the liberals are forcing a schism and a break from the Anglican Communion. Will Williams hold to Christianity or to Schori?
(This from a 2007 story). With 77 million members worldwide, the Anglican Communion is the third largest Christian group behind the Roman Catholic and the Eastern Orthodox churches. The Episcopal Church is a subset of the Anglican Communion and has 2.1 million members (or 3%) in the US. 22 of the 38 Anglican provinces around the world, however, have changed their relationship with the liberal-leaning US Episcopal Church that has openly embraced gay ordination and gay marriage. Just less than 10 of the 7,300 Episcopal parishes in the US have joined the 22 Anglican provinces around the world in rejecting the growing liberalism of the American Episcopal Church. The three conservative Episcopal churches in Southern California are: 1,200 member St. James in Newport Beach (steadfastinfaith.org), St. David's in North Hollywood, and All Saints in Long Beach. All three have left the national Episcopal Church and joined the conservative American Anglican Council under Anglican Bishop Evans Kisekka of the Diocese of Luweero in Uganda.

Couples who shack up before tying the knot are more likely to get divorced than their counterparts who don't move in together until marriage, a new study suggests.
Upwards of 70 percent of U.S. couples are cohabiting these days before marrying, the researchers estimate.
More than 60 percent of participants ranked spending more time together as the number-one reason for moving in, followed by nearly 19 percent who put "it made most sense financially" at the top of their list, and 14 percent ranking "I wanted to test out our relationship before marriage" highest.
Those who listed "testing" as the primary move-in reason were more likely than others to score high on measures of negative communication, such as, "My partner criticizes or belittles my opinions, feelings, or desires."
Such testers also had lower confidence in the quality and stability of their relationships.
Overall, those who want to test the commitment might want to think again, according to the February study.
"Cohabiting to test a relationship turns out to be associated with the most problems in relationships," Rhoades said. "Perhaps if a person is feeling a need to test the relationship, he or she already knows some important information about how a relationship may go over time."
• Reuters (7/14/09) Love not enough to keep couples together: Age, previous relationships also are factors in whether marriage lasts.
My Summary: 2,500 couples who lived together or were married between 2001-2007 were surveyed. If the husband is nine or more years older than his wife, they are twice as likely to divorce. If the husband marries before age 25, also twice as likely to divorce. 20% of couples with kids before marriage will divorce, but just 9% without kids. 16% of those with parents who divorced will divorce, while just 10% of those whose parents did not divorce will divorce. People on their second or third marriage are 90% more likely to divorce, than those in their first marriage.
