Albany Episcopal Bishop William H Love resigns
by David Virtue, Virtueonline:
VOL has been informed that the Bishop of Albany, the Rt. Rev William H. Love has announced his resignation effective Feb 1, 2021.
This has been agreed upon by Presiding Bishop Michael Curry and has the unanimous approval of the disciplinary panel of the Episcopal Church. He will take a terminal sabbatical starting Jan 1, 2021.
A VOL reader wrote; “This is powerful and emotional for all of us. Power will then be transferred to the Standing Committee. Bishop Love’s pastoral directive will stand until he departs.”
This now opens up Albany to ACNA missionary work in that diocesan territory.
