This is indeed so sad. But it is not a surprise. We know that in many ways those of us who seek different ways to run our Church, different from the way we have been led, will also clasp hands across the gulf with the rest of the churches, and unite with Rome....one piece at a time.
The rest of us must keep strong in our belief of everything that the Bible teaches and will always teach....for it, like God, does not change. Neither is the "Way" we understand it, how we intreprete Scriptures.... it does not change. But many of us have changed, thinking that the Culture has changed, therefore the Church must also change in order to keep up with the times.
The big thing we have been hearing and seeing..is that the Mother Church (so to speak) has changed, and is not a against God's Way anymore and is more friendly than in the past. But this is all outward show to get the world on their platform. We are seeing this happen strongly today. But God's true people must remember that the prophecies will be true to its meaning all the way to Jesus coming. What we see and hear we can not believe for prophecy was given to protect us from the very changes we are seeing today.
