[Daily Breeze] 22 Sep 2008--Members of a South Bay church made up of former Episcopalians disenchanted with some stances of their leaders in America are growing in numbers and are seeing their movement become organized - thanks in large part to support from Africa.
Christ Our Savior Anglican Church in Harbor City formed last year under the leadership of a Nigerian pastor and Ugandan bishop.
On Sunday, a newly appointed bishop, who oversees roughly 50 Anglican churches in the United States now under the leadership of the diocese in Uganda, visited the Harbor City church.
"This is a fascinating movement for us to be a part of," said the Rev. John Guernsey, who also heads a church in Virginia.
"We are part of a global reformation. What our friends in Africa are showing us is a renewed and more vibrant way of faith."
The bishop says the Episcopal Church - which has historically served as America's Anglican representative - is seeing declines in membership due to its "secular attitude toward the Gospel."
