LA CRESCENTA - St. Luke's of the Mountains, a church that has been affiliated with the Episcopal Church USA, renounced its Episcopal affiliations Tuesday and declared it is now under the jurisdiction of the Anglican Province of Uganda. While a press release made no mention of specific differences with traditional American Episcopalians, the church is the latest of a handful of conservative congregations to split over doctrinal issues including gay marriage, the ordination of gay priests and bishops and women in the priesthood.
This came through a couple of days ago. Nice to see the Star News represented on FR tho. It's a great church, very interesting times.
FYI..more news..
ping
More than a handful have bailed. I think the count is up to several hundred.
Traditional Anglican ping, continued in memory of its founder Arlin Adams.
FReepmail sionnsar if you want on or off this moderately high-volume ping list (typically 3-9 pings/day).
This list is pinged by sionnsar, Huber and newheart.
