FAIRFAX, Va.
Two of the most prominent Episcopal parishes in Virginia voted overwhelmingly Sunday to leave
The Episcopal Church and join fellow Anglican conservatives forming a rival denomination in the
U.S.
Truro Church in Fairfax and The Falls Church in Falls Church 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.
Truro rector Martyn Minns was consecrated a bishop by the Church of Nigeria earlier this year
to lead Akinola's Convocation of Anglicans in North America.
"This has been our spiritual home, so separating is very hard," Minns said at a news conference
announcing the parishes' decision. "There's also the promise of a new day. A burden is being
lifted. There are new possibilities breaking through."
Virginia Bishop Peter Lee, a centrist, had won praise even from his critics for his extensive
outreach to all sides in the conflict. He said Sunday that the votes "had compromised these
discussions and have created Nigerian congregations occupying Episcopal churches."
Four other Virginia parishes have left, and eight more are voting or will vote soon whether to
follow suit, according to the Virginia diocese. None is as eminent as Truro and Falls Church,
however.
A lengthy and expensive legal fight is expected over those historic church properties, which
are worth millions of dollars. "We fully intend to assert the church's canonical and legal
rights over these properties," Lee said in a news release, calling it a "sad day for the
church."
The Episcopal Church, the U.S. wing of the global Anglican Communion, has been under pressure
from traditionalists at home and abroad since the 2003 consecration of the first openly gay
bishop, V. Gene Robinson of New Hampshire.
Under Anglican tradition, Akinola's move into Episcopal territory amounts to an invasion, since
archbishops agree not to start churches outside the borders of their own region. Episcopal
Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori will consult with her advisers on how the
denomination should respond, said Bob Williams, the national Episcopal spokesman.
While theological conservatives are a minority within the 2.2 million- member U.S.
denomination, their protests have had an impact.
Ninety percent of Falls Church parishioners and 92 percent of Truro members who cast ballots in
the last week supported cutting ties with The Episcopal Church, parish leaders said.
The loss is spiritual as well as financial; the parishes are among the largest and most vibrant
in the diocese, together claiming more than 4,000 members.
"It was a very, very emotional time," said Jim Oakes, Truro's top lay leader, who supported the
split. "In some ways it's like a death in the family."
Nationally, Episcopal researchers estimate that at least one-third of the nearly 115,000 people
who left the denomination from 2003 to 2005 did so because of parish conflicts over Robinson.
Seven of the 100 U.S. Episcopal dioceses have threatened to break from the denomination, but
have so far stayed put. The closest any have come to leaving was a vote earlier this month in
the Diocese of San Joaquin, in Fresno, Calif., endorsing a first step toward seceding. But that
diocese must take a second vote next year before they can formalize a split.
The feud has been far more damaging to the 77 million-member Anglican Communion.
Most overseas Anglicans believe gay relationships violate Scripture and contend liberal
interpretations of the Bible are far outside the bounds of mainstream Christian belief.
Struggling to hold the communion together, Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, the
Anglican spiritual leader, has said that the communion may have to create a two-tier system of
membership, with branches that ordain partnered gays given a lesser status.
Akinola is among the conservatives who aren't waiting for a negotiated solution.
In a statement Friday, Canon Kenneth Kearon, secretary general of the Anglican Communion, said
that the archbishop of Canterbury has not "indicated any support" for the mission.

Once more, George Mary Carter vomits upon the "good little" people
who ask us to pray for hater homosexuals like himself.
Actually, its more like an excorcistic spasm by Carter upon encountering
the word "pray".
Carter's place in Hell is already reserved.
