Is the ordination of gays destroying Episcopal Church in America? Will congregations leave for other groups?

New denominations are forming such as the Anglican Church of North America. Will more biblical congregations join these groups. It is interesting that most Anglicans (Episcopals) now live in third world countries (especially in Africa) and are often very evangelical and conservative. Conservative Epicopalians are in a situation similar to conservative members of the Evangrlical Lutheran Church of America. Their church has left them. In the case of conservative Lutherans, they at least usually have a choice, because there will usually be a Missouri Synod Lutheran church within driving distance of a liberal ELCA church. Episcopalians are not so fortunate. If they want to remain withing the Anglican tradition in America, but also take biblical stand, they may have to form entirely new denominations and congregations.
