A former Episcopal Texas megachurch has announced its new home – the Anglican Mission in America.

In an announcement last week, the Rev. Canon David H. Roseberry, pastor of Christ Church in Plano, excitedly told congregants of their "historic" step in joining as mission partners with the AMiA."

It is an Anglican mission in that it is thoroughly Anglican, respected all around the world within the Anglican Communion," said Roseberry in a message to his church.

Christ Church split from the Episcopal Church last summer in disagreement with the national body's controversial decisions that indicated a "departure from biblical truth and historic faith of the Anglican Communion," the church's leaders had said in a statement last year.

The departure came a week after the Episcopal Church elected Nevada Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori as the first female presiding bishop. Jefferts Schori supports the consecration of homosexuals and the blessing of same-sex unions. the rest
