Five Dioceses Have Now Asked for Alternative Primatial Oversight
June 29th, 2006 by Peter Frank
A number of stories I just posted identify three dioceses that have asked for alternative primatial oversight. Two more have done so today. To the best of my knowledge, Fort Worth, Pittsburgh, South Carolina, San Joaquin, and most recently Central Florida have now made the request.
It is worth emphasizing that in doing so, none of these dioceses have claimed to be “leaving” the Episcopal Church in any way. It has been sad to see how even the national church seems to want to suggest otherwise. We have simply made a request. It is up to others to answer our request.
