Episcopal Church House of Deputies votes to sell Manhattan headquarters

From the Examiner (old news but still...)

The Episcopal Church, meeting for its 77th General Convention in Indianapolis, IN, is considering selling its headquarters located at 815 Second Avenue in Manhattan.

The House of Deputies, one of two legislative houses that make up the Episcopal Church General Convention, voted today to sell the property.

"People are not happy that we have a building in New York that takes millions of dollars out of our missionary operations," said Bishop Andrew Doyle, Vice Chair of the Committee on Structure. "They are not happy, and we have known that for years.”

The resolution to sell the church headquarters as well as home of the Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori, now goes to the House of Bishops for ratification.
