[VirtueOnline] 10 July 2007--The Anglican Heritage Foundation (AHF) Board of Directors announced today the establishment of a Legal Defense Fund to assist Trinity Church, Bristol Connecticut in their court battle with the Episcopal Church.

Trinity Church, Bristol is no longer a member of the Episcopal Church. It became part of the Convocation of Anglicans in North America (CANA) on May 27, 2007. CANA is a mission of the Nigerian church, headed by Bishop Martyn Minns, serving Episcopalians who hold traditional beliefs. "We have remained with the Anglican Communion. The Episcopal Church has demonstrated, and continues to demonstrate, that they are walking apart from the communion," said Trinity's Rector Donald Helmandollar.

Trinity Church, Bristol was founded in 1746, 44 years before the Episcopal Church was organized in 1790, and is one of the original Anglican Parishes in Colonial America that predated the signing of America's Declaration of Independence in 1776.
