Parish founder takes issue with bishop
By Emily Aronson

PORTSMOUTH -- This December will mark the fourth Christmas Wendy Stanley Jones and other Anglicans have been at their new parish since leaving local Episcopalian churches.

The Anglican Church of the Resurrection is one of many parishes across the country that formed after V. Gene Robinson was elected bishop of New Hampshire, making him the first openly gay bishop in the U.S. Episcopal Church.

Jones is a founder of the Anglican church located at Pease International Tradeport, where between 35 and 100 people attend Sunday services.

The Durham resident and former Exeter selectwoman said her move had less to do with Robinson's sexual orientation and more to do with changes within the church under his leadership.
