Lots of Diocesan News

There are two big news stories about our diocese today. First, the diocese has reached an agreement with St. Philip’s, Moon Township, a parish that went with the Anglican diocese when the diocese split in October 2008. St. Philip’s will, by this agreement, become an independent church.

The bigger story is that the appeal to the Court of Common Pleas to award diocesan property to the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh has been rejected by Commonwealth Court.

Details of both stories are available on my other blog, Lionel Deimel’s Web Log. In order, the posts are

• A Fair Settlement?
  
• St. Philip’s Update
  
• Breaking News: Court Rejects Anglican Appeal
• Details of Commonwealth Court Ruling
  

Make no mistake, these are both big stories. Details will be forthcoming from the diocese this week, but most of the information you will want to know are contained in the posts listed above.
