Has the Episcopal Church ever identified "patriarchy" as a sin?

Accepted answer

It appears not, however they do list it as a "Central question" in sexual ethics:

Central questions in sexual ethics now include the nature of sexuality, sexual orientation, sexual identity, and gender identity; the historic and social diversity of sexual practices and relationships; and the effects of patriarchy and the need for justice, equality, and intimacy.

So, they acknowledge that patriarchy does exist, and they mention it in the context of the need for justice and equality, but stop short of calling it a sin.
