From San Joaquin-
The Rev. Bill Gandenberger, assistant to Bishop John-David Schofield of the breakaway Anglican Diocese of San Joaquin, is leaving his post to become rector of Christ Church Vero Beach in Vero Beach, Fla.
Gandenberger's final day in Fresno is Sunday.
He served as Schofield's assistant for eight years, including in 2007 when Schofield led a secession movement out of the U.S. Episcopal Church over differences such as the ordination of a gay bishop and the supreme authority of Scripture.
The breakaway diocese is now part of the Anglican Church in North America.
"This is a bittersweet move that the Lord has orchestrated despite the close relationship Sue and I share with John-David ... and the work that must continue in the Diocese of San Joaquin," Gandenberger writes in a statement. "It is apparent, however, that our Lord has new plans for us, and we know that he will always provide the people and resources to accomplish his will in the Diocese of San Joaquin."
