Episcopals splitting over Gay clergy.

The Episcopal church is split over the issue of the ordination of gay priests. Two of the largest Episcopal parishes in Virginia, TRUROR Church in Fairfax (where George Washington worshipped) and The Falls Church in Falls Church, voted overwhelmingly today to break away and join fellow Anglican conservatives forming a rival U.S. denomination.
The two churches plan to place themselves under the leadership of Anglican Archbishop Peter Akinola of Nigeria, who has called the growing acceptance of gay relationships a "satanic attack" on the church. The archbishop hopes to create a U.S. alliance of disaffected parishes called the Convocation of Anglicans in North America. As an Anglican myself and someone who has followed this issue very closely, I predict that a GREAT multitude of Episcopalians will abandon the church and opt for the U. S. alliance or join other conservative churches. My father, who is a Registrar of an Anglican Diocese and a traditionalist, has already renounced Gay clergy.
