A fight may be brewing in the courts, but it won't be taken to the steps of Grace and St. Stephen's Episcopal Church this Palm Sunday.
The Episcopal Diocese clarified today that the "provisions" it's making to hold Palm Sunday services for parishioners at renegade rector Don Armstrong's parish will be at an alternative location.
"Were not going to be in a standoff with Don. The bishop would never seek to do that," said communications director Beckett Stokes.
Armstrong and nine of the 11-member governing board, called the vestry, voted Monday to secede from the Episcopal Church and align with an alternative conservative movement, Convocation of Anglicans in North America.
