LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles announced Tuesday that it has filed lawsuits against three breakaway parishes that aligned themselves with an Anglican diocese in Uganda.
The Southern California churches abandoned the local diocese in mid-August, saying that it had strayed from biblical teachings. Congregants objected to a local blessing for a same-sex couple and the national denomination's consecration of an openly gay bishop.
