It really is a choice people in the churches must make. Either the Bible is proscriptive, or it is advisory. Either you believe it all, or you demand the right to pick and choose which parts you will believe and which you will not. Once you make the second choice, it's a free for all, because there is no way to say which parts it is right to believe in and which not. The Episcopal church in the US, as you point out, has chosen the second option. To them, the Bible is merely advisory. So there should no surprise which of its requirements they reject and disregard. Which is their right, of course. But one hopes they are not hypocritical about still claiming to believe that the Bible has any mandatory teachings in it.
