From the Horse’s Mouth - Statements on Theology from Episcopal Church Leaders

March 11, 2008

We at the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh have been asserting for many years now that the leadership of The Episcopal Church is out of step with mainstream Christian belief.  During those years, there have been those both here and elsewhere, who have responded to that claim with, shall we say, a healthy bit of skepticism. 

Why do we make that claim?  We make it on the evidence we have.  To help others wrestling through questions about what the leadership of The Episcopal Church really believes, I have gathered together a sampling of that evidence, primarily in the form of quoted statements by our current Presiding Bishop, Katharine Jefferts Schori, and many others.  These statements cover a very wide swath of subjects important to Christians such as the divinity of Jesus, how do we have a relationship with God, how do we know what is true, what happens when we die, and whether or not there is a biblical pattern of moral behavior. 

Read their statements for yourself and draw your own conclusions.
