by Michael Haynes, LifeSite: After facing condemnation from an official church tribunal for ordering clergy not to perform homosexual “marriages,” Bishop William Love of Albany resigned from his see after a long-running conflict with the Episcopal Church.

Bishop Love to Join Anglican Church in North America

from Virtueonline: Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I have been wanting to write to you ever since my final service with the Diocese on February 27th.
