Diocese of Milwaukee Episcopal church remains vacant after split
Once home to St. Edmond's Episcopal Church, an empty building at 14625 Watertown Plank Road in Elm Grove serves as a reminder of an emotional church split that ended in a lawsuit over property disagreements.
The 125-member congregation was the first in the state to announce its split with the Episcopal Church in the United States in 2008 and joined the Convocation of Anglicans of North America, part of the more conservative Anglican Church of Nigeria.
The split was prompted by theological differences, including the Diocese of New Hampshire's consecration of an openly gay bishop in 2003.
