Does anyone have any insight as to where The Falls Church would go if they did split from the ECUSA? It's a pretty well-known congregation here in northern Virginia, is the 18th century namesake of the town, but unlike some Episcopal parishes upset by this, it is much more "low-church" evangelical in its Episcopalianism than "high-church" Anglo-Catholic.

So unlike those parishes that I could see breaking away either to go whole hog, swim the Tiber and affiliate with the Church of Rome, or going into one of these "halfway" congregation confederations I've heard about ("Anglican Catholic", or switching allegiance to conservative African bishops like in Nigeria, etc.), I'm really curious where The Falls Church might go to. Is there a grouping of low-church ex-ECUSA parishes already?

They have several options. There's the Episcopal Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of America, the Traditional Protestant Episcopal Church, and my favorite (since I'm Orthodox myself) Western Right Orthodoxy. Since I've "outed" myself :) I'll also post a link to An Introduction to Western Rite Orthodoxy: Why Would an Episcopalian Become Orthodox?. Happy reading!

I'd imagine they aren't far from the Reformed Episcopal Church.
