[American Anglican Council] October 3, 2005--On Sunday, October 2, 2005, Fr. Eric D. Dudley, Rector of St. John’s Episcopal Church for the past ten years, announced his resignation and his intention to create an Anglican church in Tallahassee. The decision came as the result of the National Episcopal Church’s recent actions, which, Fr. Dudley has said, moved the Episcopal Church outside of the authority of Holy Scripture and the tradition of the larger Anglican Communion. Fr. Dudley told the 175-year-old congregation that his decision is focused not so much on sexuality as it is on the Episcopal Church’s continued movement away from classical Anglicanism and the basic tenets of Scripture.
