Some dramatic news<\/a> out of Maryland: <\/p>\n

\nIn a letter to parishioners, the Reverend Jason Cantania, rector of Mount Calvary Episcopal Church in Baltimore, Maryland, announced that the vestry of the parish had voted unanimously in favor of two resolutions. First, they have voted to leave The Episcopal Church (TEC) where they are a part of the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland, and, second, to become an Anglican Use parish in the Catholic Church through the new initiative from Rome – the Anglicorum Coetibus.<\/p>\n

Under the terms of this apostolic constitution, the Church has provided opportunities for “personal ordinariates for Anglicans entering full communion with the Catholic Church.” As an Anglican Use parish, they will be authorized to use an authorized version of the Episcopal Church’s Book of Common Prayer called the “Book of Divine Worship.”<\/p>\n

Mount Calvary Episcopal Church, founded in 1842, is located in the heart of the city of Baltimore. On their website they describe themselves as a parish that has “borne faithful witness to the essential truth of Catholic Christianity and the tradition of the Oxford Movement for over 150 years, and remains to this day a bulwark of orthodox Anglo-Catholic practice.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Read on.<\/a> The entire parish will reportedly vote on joining the Catholic Church later this month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
