If you want to know why the clergy at Trinity always preach long sermons expositionally from the Scriptures, always hammer home the truths of the Gospel, teach upwards of five Bible studies a week, value classical patristic (Christology) and reformed theology (soteriology), and are furiously working away at a statement of belief…behold the following:

  1. Only 22% of Episcopalians polled in a national survey believe that the Scriptures are accurate.
  2. Only 12% of Episcopalians polled believed in the “great commission” mandate to share their faith.
  3. Only 20% of Episcopalians polled believe that Satan is real.
    AND NOW FOR THE REAL STUNNERS…
  4. Only 26% of Episcopalians polled believe that works will not earn your salvation (this is horrific).
  5. Only 28% of Episcopalians polled believe that Christ was sinless (equally horrific)
  6. Only 48% of Episcopalians polled are absolutely committed to Christianity

Friends, we’ve got a lot of work to do.  Check out the survey results here
