I pray for the parishioners peace and strength. I went through this tearing apart of a church in the 80s. Hope and pray to never go through it again. And what was it over? Basically, same issues your church has just faced and dealt with. West-coast "episcopalians" were taloned and clawed apart, first; and it all began so soon after the 1978 prayerbook "update". God's Strength to you.
Could you expand a bit on what that means?
After reading all the posts, it appears that the "split" has been going on for awhile.
I just don't know that much about it, 'head stuck in the sand! - Guilty!'
My own church (Roman Catholic) has had it's problems, as of late. I fear more are to come, along the lines of what you are experiencing.
God Bless.
