Anglican Communion has ‘family argument’

[The Courier-Journal] 25 Feb 2008--Kentucky Episcopalians heard a combination pep talk and Bible study today from one of the leaders in efforts to keep the fragile Anglican Communion together despite what seem irreconcilable differences over sexuality and theology.

The Rev. Katherine Grieb told the annual meeting of the Diocese of Kentucky that divisions in the church are as old as the church itself, and Bible passages offer differing models on whether to split or stay together despite differences.

“We’re having a family argument,” said Grieb, a Virginia Theological Seminary biblical scholar and a member of a team drafting a “covenant” to hold together the Anglican Communion, which consists of the Episcopal Church and other national churches descended from the Church of England.

Cleaning out their outdated rolls?! The Jackson Purchase once had six Episcopal churches. Now it has five!
