The majority of Holy Cross Church’s members left the Episcopal Church Sunday to form Faith Anglican Fellowship, saying they believe the Episcopal Church had strayed from its core doctrine and Scripture on the role of Christ and homosexuality.
The Rev. Frederick Richardson, who has led the Murfreesboro Episcopal mission since December 2000 and will head the new Anglican fellowship, said his church and the national Episcopal church were going in opposite directions.
