Two from Dallas.  Interesting.

Brian,

The same principle holds for Pittsburgh.

“Perhaps most fascinating was the report from Canon Hays on the admission of new non-geographic parishes. Present were a group from Church of the Transfiguration in Cleveland, OH, who together with Harvest Anglican in Homer City, PA; St. James, San Jose, CA, and Holy Trinity, Raleigh, NC, will be admitted into union at convention. The news provoked a question from Dennett Buettner as to why a parish in San Jose had not joined San Joaquin, to which Canon Hays responded that they had female candidates for ordination and that, after examining all the new dioceses, they considered Pittsburgh to be the best fit. A Silicon Valley-based congregation they had, she said, a desire to plant a new diocese in the Bay area! Tina Lockett then rose to ask the archbishop whether it in fact the case that “we’re still not tied to geography” and that the possibility existed that even a Pittsburgh-based congregation could elect to seek union with another jurisdiction. Archbishop Duncan responded that while it had been agreed among the bishops that both must agree on transfers - San Joaquin had concurred in the San Jose initiative - he doubted if any ACNA bishop would seek to restrain a congregation that wished to “move” elsewhere. Something upon which to ponder!”

Admittedly none of these are in Communion Partner dioceses.

I’m looking forward to welcoming these congregations!  Of course, St. Francis has been 1/2 & 1/2 Dallas/Ft. Worth for a year+, will be nice to have them “full time” with us!  Also, I was in the Dioc. of OK years ago when Holy Spirit was originally begun, so will be extra cool to welcome them again!
