Action by the Anglican Communion

You are probably aware, if you have been reading news reports, that (in the words of the CNN headline) "Anglicans suspend Episcopal Church over same-sex marriage."

As a Diocese and as a parish, we have tried to provide a safe home for LGBT Christians, so this action by the larger body of world-wide Anglicans is very troubling. I encourage you to read:

• The message from our own Bishop Hollingsworth
• The message from Presiding Bishop* Michael Curry contained in this article from the Episcopal News Service.

*The "Presiding Bishop" is also known as the Primate, and is the chief pastor for the entire denomination.
