Good
Hope they split.
Some must hang on to their hate. Let them.
Now they will be more easily identified.
A local group of Episcopalians could not accept gays. They now meet under the Anglican label.

I’m a United Methodist. This sounds acceptable to me. I was afraid the traditionalists would stay, and the liberals would be spun off. I prefer that the traditionalists take their ball and go play elsewhere, if they can’t love everybody.

They can merge with the Anglicans, one million moms (run by like 5 deeply closeted males), focus on the family etc.
