US church splits over sexuality

Good Riddance!

BBC NEWS Americas US church splits over sexuality:

Two church congregations in the US have voted to break away from the Episcopal Church because of its decision three years ago to consecrate a gay bishop.

The Truro Church and the Falls Church voted to place themselves instead under the authority of the Anglican Archbishop of Nigeria, Peter Akinola.

He has called for the Episcopal Church to be expelled from the worldwide Anglican Communion.

He is a fierce critic of the ordination of gay priests.

The parishes of Truro and Falls in Virginia - founded in British colonial times - are two of the oldest and largest church congregations in the US.
