NY Parishes Want Withdrawal from Episcopal Church

[The Christian Post] 20 Mar 2007--Two Episcopal churches in New York plan to split from the denomination if the church remains in support of ordaining homosexuals and blessing same-sex unions.

"Given the Episcopal Church is not willing to abide by the ruling of the Anglican Communion, we're going to withdraw and go with another body (within the communion)," said the Rev. Anthony Seel, pastor of St. Andrew's in Vestal, according to Binghamton's Press & Sun-Bulletin. "On Sundays, we keep our focus on worship, but it's demoralizing to go through something like this."
