NORTH FLORIDA: Five Parishes Announce they will leave ECUSA in January From the Anglican Alliance of North Florida
JACKSONVILLE, FL.

(December 14, 2005)--On December 12, 2005 a letter (below) was delivered to Bishop Howard which stated that during the first week of January, five congregations will transfer from the Episcopal Diocese of Florida to other provinces within the worldwide Anglican Communion. These congregations seek to remain faithful to Christ and be in full communion with the majority of the members in the larger Communion.

The congregations are Grace Church in Orange Park, St. Luke's Community of Life in Tallahassee, St. Michael's in Gainesville, and Redeemer and All Souls both in Jacksonville. St. Michael's will be renamed Servants of Christ.

They are realigning variously with the different overseas Anglican provinces. Other congregations in the Diocese of Florida are planning to take similar actions in the next few months.
