Virtueonline interviewed AMIA Chairman and Bishop of the Anglican Mission in the Americas, the Rt. Rev. Charles "Chuck" Murphy III, about the split, how he is handling it, and what he thinks the outcome will be.
VOL:How much of the $46 million raised by the AMIA and spent over the last 11-12 years went to Rwanda?
Murphy:We sent them $5,078,000 not counting other pass through gifts totaling several million more.
VOL:To date how many parishes have left AMIA for the pull away group?
Murphy:To date, I only know of 4-5 congregations. I suspect by the end of the day, it could be 20-25 congregations, which include the Apostles Mission, networks and congregation in the Birmingham Alabama network. We will know more next week. For these to leave, they will need a process to disaffiliate.
VOL: You talked in your message about the pain and hurt you have felt, do you have a sense of betrayal by people who you thought were your friends?
