"Penn Hills church in Anglican
Diocese
abandons its building"Thursday, September 01, 2011-3:39 pm
Another congregation in the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh has decided to abandon its building, saying that it couldn't meet the financial or ecclesiastical demands that the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh made during negotiations for the property.
For some unknown reason the TEC-Pgh Diocese website and TEC-Pgh bloggers Lionel Deimel and Dr. James Simons have been slow to note this occurrence?

Nothing yet on this from Rich Creehan, the Baghdad Bob of TEC-Pgh, Lionel Deimel or Dr. James Simons although Dr. Jim has at least two three blog entries on the Rt. Rev. David Moyer being booted as rector of his parish in Montgomery County PA.
Thanks, David for posting these documents. Dave Rucker's letter is thoughtful--and reflects his character as a faithful and godly minister of the gospel. I haven't yet heard an account from our Episcopal Diocese. But whatever is said, I can only say that this result seems to me to represent failure. My prayers and best wishes of course for Dave and the people of All Saints Verona as they continue to grow in new ways in their life and ministry.
