The Episcopal Church in America is facing sharp condemnation of its liberal stands both at home and abroad.

In a Dec. 15 letter to Jefferts Schori, the Sudanese church said, "We acknowledge your personal efforts to spearhead prayer and support campaigns on behalf of the ECS and remain very grateful for this attention you and your church have paid to Sudan and South Sudan. However, it remains difficult for us to invite you when elements of your church continue to flagrantly disregard biblical teaching on human sexuality."
