Holy Cross congregation splits
Majority say Episcopal Church wrong about homosexuality

The majority of Holy Cross Church’s members left the Episcopal Church Sunday to form Faith Anglican Fellowship, saying they believe the Episcopal Church had strayed from its core doctrine and Scripture on the role of Christ and homosexuality.

The Rev. Frederick Richardson, who has led the Murfreesboro Episcopal mission since December 2000 and will head the new Anglican fellowship, said his church and the national Episcopal church were going in opposite directions.

“We felt like it was the healthiest option for our congregation,” Richardson said. “We do not feel that continuing with the Episcopal Church would help us fulfill the mission God has called us to do.”
