“This is an untapped field for evangelism and there was concern around the room about how to get the word out that TEC is not judgmental, and we welcome everyone.”
The fact that ECUSA is non-judgemental is irrelevant with respect the issue of ultimate Salvation. In effect they are saying that God has no authority. They deliberately disregard the fact that Jesus judges and those who hope for His positive judgement regarding Salvation had better take heed.
Everyone is welcomed with ‘open arms’ into the catechumate of the Church Catholic, but those who refuse its clear guidance regarding God’s Word as given by Jesus Christ the Messiah, the apostles and the prophets, and who secularly twist, interpret and modify that Word have put themselves outside of the Church Catholic.
That is, they are something else, but they are not members of the Church Catholic. In fact a case can be made for the fact that they aren’t really Chrisitians.
I quote from Report #3,

“The ARchbishop’s Bomb” was a very insightful article. I’m impressed by Wetzel.
