The Anglican Parish of Christ the Redeemer (formally St. David's Anglican Church) will vacate its property at 905 East McMurray Road in Peters Township on Thursday, May 31, and relocate to Canonsburg.
It will turn its property over to the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh. The Rev. David Wilson, rector of Redeemer Parish, said the parish "holds no acrimony toward the new occupants of our former property.
"We wish them well and we hope they and their newly-elected Bishop Dorsey McConnell will faithfully contend for the faith as once delivered to the saints," he said.
St. David's has a long history of leadership in the renewal and reformation of the faith, first through the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh and now in the Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh and the Anglican Church in North America, according to a church spokesperson.
A split occurred in 2008 within the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh, with some churches staying within the Episcopal Diocese and others joining an Anglican body and forming a new diocese to serve the area.
