The congregation has voted by more than a two to one margin to authorize the Vestry to negotiate with the Bishop and Diocese to disaffiliate our association with and participation in the Diocese and thereby The Episcopal Church in order to establish association with the Convocation of Anglicans in North America (CANA).

http://www.saintmatthewsonline.org/ Last night, after 40 days of prayer and fasting for discernment, the Vestry received the results of the parish balloting from Toukan Associates, CPA. The congregation has voted by more than a two to one margin to authorize the Vestry to negotiate with the Bishop and Diocese to disaffiliate our association with and participation in the Diocese and thereby The Episcopal Church in order to establish association with the Convocation of Anglicans in North America (CANA). As Fr. Ron Baird, rector, and Austin Stout, senior warden, assured Bishop Tom Breidenthal at their meeting with him on Nov. 13, no actions were taken at last night's Vestry meeting. The Vestry's representatives and Fr. Ron Baird will meet with diocesan officials on Dec. 10 at 10 a.m. to discuss the way forward.

Vote totals 215 voted to authorize for disaffiliation 102 voted not to authorize 30 declined to vote on this issue

Everyone seems to be disassociating with TEC and associating with African Anglican Churches and now CANA. It must be fun at 815 these days, they’re falling apart.
