Bill Frey who is currently the Bishop of Rio Grande was the Dean of Trinity Seminary and is very much a conservative. Looks like there might be a fight in Rio Grande as well.
EL PASO - St. Francis-on-the-Hill in West El Paso has elected to leave the Episcopal Church, according to an announcement by the Very Rev. Mark Goodman of the Episcopal Diocese of the Rio Grande in Albuquerque.
The vestry of St. Francis-on-the-Hill in El Paso voted Oct. 21 to leave the Episcopal Church, with a majority in favor of the action, Goodman said.
"This decision comes after meetings between the congregation, the president of the standingcommittee and the assisting bishop of the Diocese of the Rio Grande, the Right Rev. William Frey," Goodman said.
"At those meetings, Bishop Frey and Canon Kelly made it clear to the congregation that, if they made the decision to leave the Episcopal Church, they could not take their property with them."
