A Day of Exciting Anglican News

VirtueOnline: PITTSBURGH: Bishop Robert Duncan Re-Elected Diocesan Bishop When future church history text books are written, Bishop Robert Duncan will be written in as a hero. Bishop Duncan had served as the bishop for the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh. Several weeks back he was deposed by The Episcopal Church and removed as bishop. However, he was immediately received into the Anglican Province of the South Cone by Archbishop Gregory Venables. The Episcopal Diocese Pittsburgh then voted to leave the Episcopal Church and also come under the Southern Cone. Today, Bishop Duncan was reunited with his Diocese. The Anglican Province of the Southern Cone of America is the ecclesiastical province of the Anglican Communion that covers the countries of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay. VirtueOnline: Diocese of Quincy Votes to Leave TEC for Southern Cone The Episcopal Diocese of Qunicy (Illinois) has also voted to leave the Episcopal Church and also come under the Southern Cone. Their former bishop, Keith Ackerman, was not deposed as Robert Duncan was. He instead retired due to health reasons. This makes three entire dioceses who have left the Episcopal Church: San Joaquin, Pittsburgh and Quincy. Later this month the Diocese of Ft. Worth will vote on a similar transition and will likely also leave. The Orthodox and Anglo-Catholic saints of the Episcopal Church feel marginalized and are leaving in mass. Welcome to Christ Awakening The Anglican Mission in America is hosting another Awakening event in Boston.
