Two Episcopal churches in eastern Loudoun have made history, being the first and second congregations in Virginia to leave the umbrella of the Episcopal Church of the United States of America and join the Anglican Province of Uganda.
The pastors of South Riding Church and the Church of the Holy Spirit in Ashburn indicated they left ECUSA because of its alleged changes in doctrine and because of its 2003 consecration of V. Gene Robinson as the world’s first openly homosexual Episcopal bishop.
