"Episcopal diocese OKs split over Bible, gays."
MONROEVILLE, Pa. - "Clergy and lay members of the theologically conservative Pittsburgh diocese voted overwhelmingly Saturday to break from the liberal Episcopal Church.
"Of 159 clergy who voted, 121 favored leaving and 33 opposed, with five voters abstaining or casting disqualified ballots. The lay vote was closer, with 119 of 191 lay deputies voting for the split, 69 voting against and three abstaining."
One might wish this church could focus on souls rather than irrelevancies. It's a shame to start breaking up a noble organization over this.
