From Fresno-
A representative of the U.S. Episcopal Church will speak in Modesto at the Episcopal Diocese of San Joaquin convention.
Bonnie Anderson, president of the House of Deputies for the Episcopal Church, will speak at 6:45 p.m. Oct. 15 at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, 1528 Oakdale Road, Modesto. The convention will conclude next Saturday.
In December 2007, Bishop John-David Schofield led the diocese in a secession movement out of the U.S. Episcopal Church over differences such as the ordination of an openly gay bishop and the supreme authority of Scripture. The breakaway diocese, based in Fresno, is now part of the Anglican Church in North America.
Not long after the diocese voted to break away, the national Episcopal Church sued over ownership of church property. In July 2009, a Fresno County Superior Court judge handed a critical victory to the national church. The breakaway diocese is asking the 5th District Court of Appeal to overturn the ruling. Oral arguments are scheduled for 10 a.m. Oct. 20.
