Ex-Episcopalians to unveil church constitution


Associated Press - 11/22/2008 4:05:00 AM

Breakaway Episcopalians are preparing to form a new Anglican Church in North America.
 
A
church constitution, to be unveiled December 3 at Wheaton College near
Chicago, would unite some 100,000 disaffected former Episcopalians who
now adhere to various conservative Anglican archbishops abroad. Rev.
Daryl Fenton says breakaway Episcopalians will soon unveil a new church
constitution.
 
"What's being planned is the organizing of a new Anglican Church in the
U.S. that will be related to the rest of the worldwide Anglican
Communion, and that will distinguish itself from the Episcopal Church
in the U.S. by virtue of its holding to historic doctrines of the
faith," he explains.
 
The Anglican alternative to the U.S. Episcopal Church would likely be
led by Pittsburgh Bishop Robert Duncan, the leader of one of four
dioceses that have seceded because of differences over biblical
authority and interpretation. The consecration of an openly homosexual
Episcopal bishop in 2003 has alienated the U.S. branch of the Anglican
Communion from its own conservatives and from Anglicans abroad.
 
Like a deer that longs for running waters so my soul longs for you, O God.
Ps 42:1
