If the PB really believes what she says in this article then it's a shame she hasn't used the millions of dollars that she has allocated for suing parishes and dioceses for the poor. Her theology rings hollow next to her actions. ed.

Washington (AP) Episcopal Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori (SHOHR'-ee) says the Diocese of Pittsburgh probably won't be the last to vote to leave the U.S. branch of the world Anglican Communion.
But she told a forum at Washington National Cathedral that she considers Pittsburgh's secession to join with more conservative Anglicans in South America to be a violation of church law.
The Diocese of San Joaquin (wah-KEEN'), California, had previously quit the Episcopal Church, and dioceses based in Quincy, Illinois, and Fort Worth, Texas, are set to vote next month on leaving.
Conservative Episcopalians object to the denomination condoning homosexuality, a position highlighted by the 2003 consecration of the openly gay Bishop Gene Robinson of New Hampshire.
But Jefferts Schori said that issue is less important to God than helping the poor.
