But Father Rob Hartley who resigned Sunday as vicar of the church says the issue of homosexuality was not his main concern.<\/p>\n
\u201cI found it an error because it was contrary to scripture and I don’t think it was any deeper than that,\u201d\u009d Hartley said.<\/p>\n
He says his issues with the Episcopal Church started long before 2003.<\/p>\n
\u201cEarly 80’s probably,\u201d\u009d Hartley said.<\/p>\n
That is when he said he started to see a shift in the theologies and teachings of the church.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Episcopal church really wants to make Christianity relevant they really want to make the truth of the gospel easier to ingest for the modern mind. I think the truth is the truth and changing it to make it digestible isn’t exactly what the apostles learned from Jesus,\u201d\u009d Hartley said.<\/p>\n
