Wisconsin congregation breaks with Episcopal Church
Associated Press - 1/4/2009 5:15:00 AM

A
Wisconsin congregation has decided to leave the Episcopal Church to
join a more conservative branch of the world Anglican Communion.
 
St.
Edmund's Episcopal Church of Elm Grove is joining the new Anglican
Church in North America. Milwaukee's Episcopal Bishop Steven Miller
says he is disappointed by the announcement.
 
He adds that members can leave a parish, but parishes cannot leave the
diocese. That makes the future of St. Edmund's uncertain, since Miller
says the diocese owns the church property.
 
St. Edmund's spokeswoman Marsha Ohlgart says the 125-member
congregation is aware of the conflict. She says it owns the land and
rectory but is uncertain about the church.
 
Like a deer that longs for running waters so my soul longs for you, O God.
Ps 42:1
