Northern Virginia churches approve Episcopal split

Published



Two massive Northern Virginia congregations and a handful of smaller churches have opted to cut ties with The Episcopal Church, officials announced Sunday.

Fairfax’s Truro Church and The Falls Church in Falls Church wrapped up a week of voting and tallied ballots from more than 1,200 members each. More than 90 percent of voters in both congregations moved to leave the Episcopal Church and join with the Convocation of Anglicans in North America, a division of the Anglican Church in Nigeria.
