[The Bristol Press] 30 May 2007--Trinity Episcopal Church has declared itself a member of the Anglican Church of Nigeria.The Rev. Donald Helmandollar, Trinity's rector, confirmed Tuesday that as of Sunday the parish had joined the Convocation of Anglicans in North America, a self-described mission of the Nigerian church, serving Episcopalians who hold traditional beliefs. It is based in Fairfax, Va.

The action means the parish is no longer a member of the Episcopal Church U.S.A. but is still Anglican, Helmandollar said.
