Valley Diocese Looking To Leave the American Episcopal Church

[ABC30.c0m] 27.11.07--Church members on both sides are preparing for the upcoming church decision that could make history.

The theological split stems from the church's decision to ordain gay and female clergy.

"Someone who is involved in a single sex partner, as the Bishop of New Hampshire is, is going against scripture," said Bishop John David Schofield, San Joaquin Diocese.

The bishop of the San Joaquin diocese is one vote away from breaking away from the American based church which would be a first, but not all valley Episcopalians want the split.
