[Peoria Journal-Star] 10 Nov 2008--The Peoria-based Episcopal Diocese of Quincy voted Saturday to leave the national Episcopal Church and realign with a South American Anglican church.

The decision, made at the annual diocese synod at St. John's Episcopal Church in Quincy, follows months of arguments between the local and national Episcopal groups on issues such as homosexuality, the ordination of women and the overall liberal nature of the national church.
