His answer? "The people who are taking the Bible literally are absolutely outside the Anglican tradition."

Kinda like joining a vegetarian group that allows its members to eat chicken, well-done beef, "not too much" pork, and only 1 serving of mutton/day.
At one point is there justification for even calling oneself vegetarian?
Same with these "main-stream" denominations. Just drop the charade and form a moose lodge or something!
