Faithful Episcopal church may be closed

Saints did offer to put the money in an escrow account until 2006, when the U.S. Episcopal Church holds its next general convention, but the local diocese turned down that offer.

“I, as Bishop and Chief Pastor, along with many others, have made numerous efforts over the past three years to address these concerns,” McKelvey wrote in a letter sent to delegates earlier this month. “I have met with the leadership of All Saints on many occasions. … I have offered to continue the dialogue around our theological differences ….”

That’s not enough for Bagdonas and others at All Saints. It’s OK to disagree and to question, he said, but the U.S. Episcopal Church should listen to what the worldwide church is saying, which is that the only morally acceptable sexual relationships are between a married woman and man.
