Episcopal Church in full battle

A battle is raging in Middle Tennessee Episcopal churches that most probably will reshape the denomination.
On the one side are moderate and liberal Episcopalians who want to keep the church as they view it — an all inclusive tent under which anyone may worship.
On the other side are more conservative Episcopalians who believe the church has strayed from its core beliefs and cite as the most recent example the ordination of an openly gay priest as bishop of New Hampshire.
While the battle rages elsewhere across the country, the weapon of choice in Middle Tennessee is the election of the next bishop early next year — to be voted on by delegates elected to January’s 174th Annual Convention of the Diocese of Tennessee.
