1. This has to do with them not wanting gay and lesbian

priests, I believe. The bishop still calls himself an Anglican, but the Episcopal Church in the USA isn't having this. I think it mainly has to do with money and power.

3. If I get this correctly.....

....the Episcopalian Church removed 61 clergy who oppose the church's acceptance of gay marriage?

The Episcopal Church has fired, or in its words “deposed,” 61 priests and deacons in the Central Valley who followed former Bishop John David Schofield when he rebuked the national church and aligned with the Anglican Church of the Southern Cone, a conservative group based in South America.

Doesn't sound like a bad thing to me.
