Conservative Episcopalians to form new Conservative group

Link

Tired of fighting a losing cause, conservative Episcopalians have agreed to form a new group. It includes many churches that either have fled or are in the process of fleeing the liberal dominated Episcopal Church. It includes the CANA group of churches led by the Nigerian Anglican Bishop.

The founders are a mix of groups with varying ties to the Episcopal Church and the world Anglican Communion. Among the members will be Episcopal dioceses and parishes that have broken away or plan to split from the national church, congregations that have never been part of the Episcopal Church and fellowships that are considered schismatic by the Anglican Communion.

Bishop Duncan said that forming a separate North American church structure for conservatives is "necessary because of the drift of the church in the West."
