Times-Union: Albany's Episcopal head pushed for answers on direction of local diocese

A grass-roots Episcopal group wants to question Bishop William Love on whether he intends to lead the Albany diocese out of the Episcopal Church.

Albany Via Media, a group of moderate to liberal Episcopalians, is lining up parishioners to attend Love’s seven meetings around the diocese in September and October.

“We are trying to have members asking the question at every meeting,” said Clair Touby of Saranac Lake, president of Albany Via Media.

Love will visit St. Paul’s Church, 58 Third St., Troy, at 6:30 p.m., Tuesday for evening prayer and to discuss the Episcopal Church’s General Convention in July in Anaheim, Calif.

    If only Bp Love would consider leaving TEC.

    Dennis and friends should stop worrying.

    Bp Bill is doing everything he can think of to keep us all IN.

    “Trying to have members ask questions at every meeting” does not sound like it is a grass organization with deep roots . . .

  3. BlueOntario says:

    I think it is folk like Ms. Touby who should be listening – to what +Love has on his heart.

  4. montanan says:

    It is so sad the media take for granted that the organization [i]Via Media[/i] is, indeed, moderate. The statements by the representative seem more designed to inject fear and anger than they are to educate. God bless and strengthen +Love.
