Yes, because they've evolved a bit more than the rest. The AC is all about social stagnation, and the Espicopal church is completely souring that stagnation with their progressive thinking. If they progress any more, they might even start thinking for themselves, and where would that lead to? Soon people would realize that religion is just organized superstition, and that would totally ruin the AC.

No.
There is no realistic basis for pseudo-religious antiworldly-(pro-otherworld) religious types speaking against nor acting against non-heterosexual practitioners..

Morality is about doing what works on Earth, period; religion is not--it's about doing what would work if heaven myths were true.

Ethics in every case relates to informed consent by free adults--either to enter a monastic church order or to live on Earth by secular laws and to profess a belief you aren't predominantly practicing.
But sexual ethics are simple--asking permission first and trying to do something you find a priority, of value, that works--and stopping doing it when these three conditions are not being met.

Where selfhood in other words can never be "obeying the orders of infallibility pretending antiworld order givers" religion intended for an afterlife universe can't be practiced on Earth, or an gunpoint on others.

It only applies to those who say, "I accept your mystical version of a categorically better or worse universe to come, then infallibility, then orders...and actually practice these."

Their ideas do not apply to the rest of us at all--heterosexual or otherwise.

The Episcopal churches that believe in Americanism, individual rights, female leaders, what works--need either to submit or leave ACT. And those who remain behind on Earth must accept the irrelevance of their beliefs to life on Earth. As the rest of us do. Because its realistic to do so.

As church organizations--by US law--they can practice and preach very much what they wish to, so long as no moral nor ethical rights are violated--such as by killing animals, brainwashing anyone, refusing to let them leave, running worldly TV shows, interfering in election, heading up the Rose Parade, etc.

Episcopalians are not Anglicans; their beliefs must be their own. If this splits a narrow-minded, immoral and unrealistic Church--that's the way it will have to be.

No, but we should all pray for harmony among all Christian churches. and that they heal their own ills.
