The Church of the Holy Spirit in Ashburn, Va., has become the second congregation to leave the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia over disagreements on biblical authority, church discipline and homosexual clergy.

Meeting after their Sunday morning worship service, adult members of the church voted 88-0 to leave the 90,000-member diocese, the country's largest, and affiliate with the Anglican Diocese of Ruwenzori in Uganda.

The five-year-old congregation, which has minimal assets and no church building of its own, changed its name to Church of the Holy Spirit, Anglican, and altered its Web site address to www.holyspiritanglican.org. It will continue to meet at Mill Run Elementary in Ashburn's Broadlands development.
The rest
