[The Christian Post] 13 Dec 2007--Days after the first ever Episcopal diocese voted to secede from the national church, Episcopal leaders have revealed plans to continue the diocese.
Delegates of the Diocese of San Joaquin in California overwhelmingly voted on Saturday to sever ties with The Episcopal Church over its liberal direction on theology and Scripture. The few that chose to stay are now working with leaders from neighboring dioceses and those from the wider church to "provide for the continuation" of the Diocese of San Joaquin, said Michael Glass, a San Rafael, Calif.-based attorney.
Glass represents congregations and individuals who want to remain in the national church.
Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori, the Episcopal head, has appointed the Rev. Robert Moore to provide an ongoing pastoral presence to the continuing Episcopalians in the California diocese.
