Episcopal Church USA - Issues
As many of you know the Episcopal Church USA is in a state of broken or impaired communion with 22 of the 38 Anglican Provinces worldwide because of the actions of the 2003 General Convention.
The leadership of St. Andrew's is deeply troubled by the decisions made during that General Convention and has been in conversation with Bishop Gibbs about alternatives to our current Diocesan governance in accordance with the directives laid out by the Anglican Primates in their 2003 Lambeth Report.
Clicking on the links below will give you insight into the issues being addressed and the dialogue we are having with Bishop Gibbs.
