Why I Left the Episcopal Church to Remain an Anglican

One priest's story of (dis)obedience
by Matt Burnett

I serve a 4-year-old church in northern Colorado Springs planted outside The Episcopal Church, and am awaiting the latest word on the Episcopal Diocese of Colorado’s decision to depose me—to officially un-ordain me, even though they willingly transferred me to the Province of Rwanda years ago. Now, that province and its mission organization, the Anglican Mission in America, are part of a move to create a new Anglican province in North America.

This isn’t quite what I had envisioned when I felt a call to ordained ministry as a teenager, nor when I attended seminary as a 41-year-old.

What has happened? And what does the new province mean for my current province of Rwanda, my flock, my family, and myself? the rest
