[Los Angelos Daily News] 20 Oct 2007--A worldwide rift in Anglican churches over the ordination of a gay Episcopal priest is being felt in Santa Clarita, where plans are under way to establish a conservative offshoot.
The African-based Anglican Mission in America is advertising locally to see how much interest there is in the church, a breakaway from the more liberal Episcopal denomination.
Both are under the umbrella of the Anglican Communion, the third-largest Christian denomination in the world.
"A number of families are interested in starting a new parish," said the Rev. Jim Obermeyer, an Anglican priest now on sabbatical in Phoenix.
"The plan is to see, after having the ads in the paper, to hold a meeting and decide how we want to proceed."
