The Episcopal Church has a question for the west-central Illinois Diocese of Quincy:
Are you ready to rummmmmbbbbblllllllllle?

The denomination's executive council declared last week that certain parts of the constitutions of four dioceses, including Quincy, are "null and void," particularly sections which TEC power-structure higher-ups feel might be used to leave the church.

The dioceses are on the record with others as wanting oversight from a province other than The Episcopal Church, which may find itself booted from the worldwide Anglican Communion by the end of the year due to the American church's open acceptance of homosexuality. Leaders in several individual churches and dioceses, including Quincy and Springfield, object to TEC's current direction, saying it's unbiblical.
