[Virginian-Pilot] 19 Mar 2007--In a split echoing the debate within the Episcopal Church, seven leaders of Galilee Church have quit to launch a new congregation outside the denomination they accuse of heresy.
"It is what we consider the unorthodox direction of the Episcopal leadership that has caused us to leave," said Eric Hauser, the former senior warden at Galilee, which is at 40th Street and Pacific Avenue.
Much of Galilee's leadership, including its senior priest, condemned the Episcopal Church's approval in 2003 of the ordination of a non celibate gay man as a bishop in New Hampshire.
