Defrocked Episcopal Priest Sues His Lawyer
By not in system - AOL News(Jan. 4) -- A former Episcopal priest in suburban Philadelphia who lost a legal battle with his bishop has filed a malpractice suit against the attorney who represented him in the case. The Rev. David Moyer of the Church of the Good Shepherd in Rosemont -- who has spoken out against liberal trends in the Episcopal Church -- was removed from the priesthood in 2002 by Bishop Charles Bennison Jr. In October, a Montgomery County jury ruled that Bennison did not act fraudulently in deposing Moyer, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported. Despite his ouster, Moyer continues to serve as Good Shepherd's ...

An omen? A local Baptist pastor and blogger, John Piper, thought so, interpreting the whirlwind in biblical terms: "A gentle but firm warning to the ELCA and all of us: ...
California Episcopal Church Seeks a Third Way
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyOn Sunday, Episcopal church leaders in Los Angeles -- one of the most liberal Dioceses in the country -- nominated two openly gay priests to serve as assistant bishops. This event was merely the latest example of the growing schism in the church. The Episcopal Church in the United States continues to lose members as conservative congregations pull out in protest over the church's liberal agenda. This sort of break-up is messy in any organization, but especially in a church. Conservatives, of course, are concerned with the denomination's endorsement of the ordination of women, gay marriage and ...
