An Historic Day: Diocese of Pittsburgh Leaves Episcopal Church

VirtueOnline: PITTSBURGH: Diocese Changes Constitution, Joins Anglican Province Today is an historic day. The Diocese of Pittsburgh has voted to amend their constitution to become a diocese of the Province of the Southern Cone, officially leaving the Episcopal Church. This is the second entire diocese to leave the Episcopal Church, following in the footsteps of the Diocese of San Joaquin. Two other dioceses will hold similar votes next month: Diocese of Fort Worth and the Diocese of Quincy (IL). This change for the Diocese of Pittsburgh will also pave the way for them to be reunited with their beloved Bishop, Bob Duncan, who was deposed by the Episcopal Church last month as they trampled their canons to do so. However, as soon as he was deposed by them, the Southern Cone immediately received him. These are exciting times to watch brave, godly men like Bishops Duncan and Schofield (San Joaquin) and the people of their dioceses stand for righteousness and in the face of adversity.
