Youssef, 72, who serves as pastor of the Church of The Apostles in Atlanta with about 3,000 members, told the outlet that he remembers watching the Episcopal Church collapse from the inside in the '80s as an Episcopal priest. He said the denomination followed the culture away from Christian principles and moved toward secularism — a move made evident with its vote to approve same-sex marriage.
"Those same battles that I fought in the mainline denominations are now invading the evangelical churches," Youssef said. "It's the same arguments, the same lingo, and the same words repeating themselves with such precision I am deeply, deeply concerned."
