Members of a South Bay church made up of former Episcopalians disenchanted with some stances of their leaders in America are growing in numbers and are seeing their movement become organized - thanks in large part to support from Africa.

Christ Our Savior Anglican Church in Harbor City formed last year under the leadership of a Nigerian pastor and Ugandan bishop.

On Sunday, a newly appointed bishop, who oversees roughly 50 Anglican churches in the United States now under the leadership of the diocese in Uganda, visited the Harbor City church.
