Crisis Deepens in Episcopal Church

From Liberia-

The crisis in the St. Augustine Episcopal Church on Bardnesville Road is said to be deepening by the day as a result of dissatisfaction of some members of the Church.

Members of the Church especially men have been at odd with the Priest-in-Charge G. Nyema Harmon over the manner in which the affairs of the Church is being administered.

Reports gathered by this paper Sunday, February 3, 2013 say the Vestry (Church administrators) of the St. Augustine Episcopal Church has elected Rev. G. Nyema Harmon as Rector of the St. Augustine Parish something which might stall a pending truce with Episcopal Bishop Jonathan B.B. Hart.

Sources closed to the Episcopal Church of Liberia say Rev. Hart has called for a meeting with the men of the St. Augustine Episcopal Church to find a way out of the deepening crisis, but the men have insisted that Bishop Hart replace Rev Harmon if the Church must be peaceful.

The St. Augustine Episcopal Church Men have been pressing for their priest to follow the canon (constitution) of the Episcopal Church of Liberia but the men's request seems not to be yielding results.
