Episcopal meeting set on reorganized diocese

From The Pittsburgh Tribune Review

The Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh will offer an update Thursday on its reorganization in the wake of a vote by a number of parishes to join a more conservative branch of the Anglican Church.

The gathering -- which will take place from 7 to 9 p.m. in Trinity Cathedral, 328 Sixth Ave., Downtown -- will address the legal and financial steps necessary for a parish to participate in a diocese of the U.S.-based Episcopal Church.

A discussion will include plans to offer clergy and pastoral care to congregations that want to remain in The Episcopal Church but whose parish priests have left the church. Nineteen of the 66 parishes in the diocese have voted to remain loyal to the national church.
