An Episcopal priest in the Diocese of Washington, according to the Seattle Times, made the shahada and became an active Muslim 15 months ago. But she is still serving as a Christian priest, and her Bishop sees no problem:
I guess not. Once you swallow Presiding Bishop Katherine Jefferts Schori's statement of sexual confusion that "our mother Jesus gives birth to a new creation and we are his children," and once you accept gay Bishops who are "married" to their male partners, a Muslim priest is no big thing.
Another example of the fact that the leading exponents of intellectual life in the heart of Christendom are more often than not anti-Christian ideologues. And an anti-Christian ideology is now being accepted in the priesthood of The Episcopal Church itself.
It is really no wonder that more than 250 congregations that were in The Episcopal Church are now affiliating with African diocesan authorities, through he Archbishops of Nigeria, Kenya, and Uganda.

Redding's bishop, the Rt. Rev. Vincent Warner, says he accepts Redding as an Episcopal priest and a Muslim, and that he finds the interfaith possibilities exciting. Her announcement, first made through a story in her diocese's newspaper, hasn't caused much controversy yet, he said.Go that? Accepting another religion that denies the divinity of Jesus, that persecutes Christians and that punishes apostasy to Christianity by death wherever it exerts temporal power "hasn't caused much controversy yet."

I predict she eventually leaves Christianity... not necess. The Episcopal heads might not have a problem, but I'll bet the Muslims will.
Such idiocy.
