A Statement by the Vestry of Truro Church
November 28, 2006

Excerpt: "We write now, with heavy hearts, to explain our unanimous conclusion that The Episcopal Church has determined to walk apart and divide itself from the rest of the Communion. We stand at a fork in the road and must choose whom we shall serve, and serve alongside. As did the prior Vestry, we choose to remain within the Anglican Communion in its adherence to the apostolic and historic Christian faith.

Therefore, following our unanimous preliminary recommendation on November 11 (of which we informed the Diocese), we unanimously resolved on November 19, 2006 to call a congregational vote pursuant to our Bylaws, at which we will ask the congregation to sever its denominational ties with The Episcopal Church and to affiliate with another branch of the Anglican Communion within the Commonwealth of Virginia. We have provided and will continue to provide written notice to the congregation, as well as announcements at public worship, with the vote scheduled to commence December 10, 2006. " the rest
