"Now Episcopalians seem on their way to almost complete rejection of the concept (of heresy). This is one of the major recommendations in a report made public last week by the church's committee on theological freedom and social responsibilities, which labels the sin "anachronistic" and suggests that ideally it be abandoned except in the historical context "of the radical, creative theological controversies in the early formative years of Christian doctrine.""
From Time magazine in 1967. Its interesting that the idea of heresy and trials for it was being rejected forty years ago. Another piece of the puzzle falls into place.
