Star-Telegram Article on Recent FW Actions
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram ran an article today that discusses recent actions by the Standing Committee of the diocese of Fort Worth withdrawing us from Province 7 of the Episcopal Church (pending ratification by diocesan convention shortly). Here is an excerpt:
Where does the Fort Worth Diocese go if it leaves Province 7?
"It's hard to say," said Suzanne Gill, a diocesan spokeswoman. "Dioceses cannot be included in a province without consent.
"We are opting out. We have not opted to go anywhere."
Many are calling for the creation of a separate, nongeographical province for conservative Episcopalians, Gill said. The resolution notes that U.S. conservatives have asked for alternative "pastoral and apostolic care to biblically orthodox Anglicans in this country regardless of geographical location."
