I just regard autonomous rootless liberalism (Graham Kings) as a form of name calling. It is not rootless. It can be argued that it is pre-Nicene, and well rooted, and then applied in a different cultural setting. In other words, the faith evolved rapidly when closer to its roots, and therefore what The Episcopal Church is doing is entirely legitimate.

‘I must come in as a rootless liberal, then; after all, if I’m not, who is (by all this criteria).’
On my part, the phrase ‘autonomous rootless liberalism’ was not a form of naming calling. I have attempted to elucidate this on that forum and also on Covenant:
