Episcopal Church Split?
Being involved with the vestry at my church, I’ve had a front-row seat watching what’s been happening in the Episcopal church since the approval of Gene Robinson as the first openly gay Episcopal bishop. Things are starting to heat up again as some of the more conservative parishes and dioceses begin to push back against the church hierarchy. I figure I’ll post links here as I come across interesting articles.
The first is an interesting read about some larger parishes breaking away from ECUSA completely. The writer may be using a bit of hyperbole, though, since I know something of the six parishes involved in the Connecticut lawsuit, and I wouldn’t exactly call them powerful.
