BROOMFIELD, COLORADO \u201d\u201c August 27, 2007\u201d\u201c The Church of the Holy Comforter today announced the resignation of its leader, The Reverend Dr. Charles Reeder and his departure from The Episcopal Church effective October 1, 2007. Holy Comforter also announces that Vestry, the Children\u2019s Minister, Youth Minister and Treasurer will resign and follow Father Reeder\u2019s move within the greater worldwide Anglican Communion Network (ACN).<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are saddened by the current state of The Episcopal Church in the US which we believe has strayed from the orthodox, scriptural beliefs of the worldwide Anglican Communion,\u201d\u009d said Reeder. \u201cMany church members have demonstrated their dissatisfaction with the Episcopal Church\u2019s actions and words through the withholding of contributions. This has led us to examine the best possible future for Holy Comforter and our desire to remain part of the worldwide Anglican Communion.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n
Near term, Reeder, Vestry, the core ministry team and members of Holy Comforter continue in a period of prayer and fasting as they look for guidance around the future of the congregation. Reeder has not yet determined his future place within the Anglican Communion.<\/p>\n
