[American Anglican Council] February 6, 2006--Church of the Holy Spirit (CHS), a Biblically faithful congregation in Ashburn, voted unanimously yesterday in a congregational meeting to end their affiliation with the Episcopal Church USA (ECUSA) and the Diocese of Virginia. They requested and have already received jurisdictional oversight from the Anglican Church of Uganda. The Rt. Rev. Benezeri Kisembo, Bishop of the Ruwenzori Diocese, is the new bishop providing spiritual oversight to this church of 230 people. CHS has now returned to full communion with a large majority of the worldwide Anglican Communion, which has declared either broken or impaired communion with ECUSA.
