| The Diocese of Quincy has quit the Episcopal Church and affiliated with the Province of the Southern Cone, making it the third diocese to quit the American church over its leftward theological drift.
On Nov 7 delegates to the diocesan synod meeting at St John’s Church in Quincy, Illinois, approved the second and final reading of a constitutional amendment withdrawing from the Episcopal Church. The vote was 41-14 in the clergy order and 54-12 by the laity. A second resolution affiliating the diocese with the Southern Cone pending the creation of a Third Province in North America was approved 46-4 in the clergy order and 55-8 in the lay order. One of the US church’s smallest dioceses, Quincy comprises 24 congregations spread across rural west central Illinois. Traditionally Anglo-Catholic, Quincy was one of three dioceses in the Episcopal Church that did not ordain women clergy. Four congregations are expected to remain within the Episcopal Church.

I fine that Bishop George of Q is more against Women Clergy vs Bishop Jack of FTW. however, their are still other Bishops that are against Women Clergy in their Diocese, yet, permit, such as DAL.
The fact remains. Women Clergy was voted in 1976, face it People, it has been going on 33 years, Actually, Women were Clergy in other faiths way before, the Episcopal. Well, like Presiding Bishop Kate. I wish those that must leave over this disagreement, the best of luck.
Fact, I was an Adult when Women were Voted and the ECP Rite Two, Bishop Gene of NH and Presiding Bishop Kate. Please remember, it was St Paul’s and Trinity Ground Zero, that keep their doors open after September 11. and gave a wonderful service to Bishop Ogama.
