Elizabethtown congregagation leaves Episcopal Church
News Release

More than 100 former members of Christ Church, Elizabethtown, KY are leaving the Episcopal Church to form a new Anglican parish. The new congregation, Holy Apostles, will begin worshipping at the Gallery of the State Theater in downtown Elizabethtown. Their first service will be celebrated July 10th at 10:00 a.m.

According to the Reverend Kent Litchfield, pastor of the new church, the recent practices and teaching of the Episcopal Church are in violation of scripture and go against the tradition, faith and order of Anglicanism and Christianity. The Episcopal Church has acquiesced to the pressures of cultural relativism and secular modernism instead of standing as the moral beacon to a society that appears to have abandoned the principles that have stood the test of time, said Father Litchfield. We hope to regain that moral compass and be a positive voice in the community.
