archbishops , metropolitans and patriarchs are not married.

What are his poems like?

Chance would be a fine thing.
Even with all his egotistic honours [apart from his  heretical stance on 
allowing Sodomites into the churches]  he still hasn't had the sense to get 
himself immersed in water and baptised into Christ's saving name.
Thus unless he submits to Christ's and Peter's command, his whole life along 
with all others who have refused baptism after coming to belief in Christ 
has been on a 'hiding to nothing'

One presumes as an Episcopalian, he has had, at least a Trinitarian
baptism.  One can be, in necessity, even baptiszed with sand in the
name of the Holy Trinity.

Yerh!
 That's about right, a doctrine of a useless baptism "built on sand"..... 
Jesus warned about such foolhardy pursuits.
