From Premier-
A church in Glasgow has decided to leave the Scottish Episcopal Church following concerns that it has become too liberal.
86 per cent were in favour of leaving the denomination.
The Scottish Episcopal Church recently changed the law to allow same sex marriages to take place in its buildings.
In a statement, St Silas said: "Recent decisions of the Scottish Episcopal Church have made clear to us that the denomination does not regard the Bible as the authoritative word of God.
"With deep sadness, we have therefore decided that for reasons of integrity we can no longer continue as part of the Scottish Episcopal Church."
In response The Most Rev Mark Strange, Interim Bishop of Glasgow & Galloway said: "Following meetings and conversations with the people of St Silas they have now decided to separate from the Scottish Episcopal Church to fulfil their mission as they understand it to be.
