St. Mark's Johnstown to Remain in TEC


St. Mark's Johnstown Votes to stay in The Episcopal Church.


I've just received word that St. Mark's Johnstown voted today to remain in the Episcopal Church. The congregational vote was 64 to stay and 36 to realign. The vestry vote would have been 7 to 5 although not all of the members were present. Seven votes were cast for staying.

I received this clarification from a member of the vestry

Of the five Vestry members who voted to realign with Southern Cone, one did attend the meeting and tendered his resignation. Two others had to leave immediately following the vote due to prior commitments.

I wonder what the "parish" vote was at St. Michael's in the Valley?

125 Stay

17 realign

10 start over

Thank you for editing your posting. The orig post had a derogatory tone and you wrongly jumped to a conclusion. This was a very painful process for the parish and we did not need insult added to injury.

God bless you in your ministry.
