A church torn in two

[KRT Wire] 21 February 2007--For decades, a sign outside this light-filled, two-story house of worship proclaimed it "St. Stephen's Episcopal Church" - spiritual home to a congregation of longtime friends and neighbors who often watched movies together, walked the beach or shared meals in this middle-class military town on Whidbey Island.

But that was before the rift - before deeply held differences over the ordination of a gay bishop officially ended the congregation as it had existed since 1952.
