Some Episcopalians aren't going to take it, well actually theyaren't going to give it:
The church is the state's largest Episcopal church, with 1,500 members. Its governing body voted Aug. 11 to allow individual members to specify that no portion of their offerings go to the Diocese of Kentucky and the national church. More than 100 members -- out of a pledge base of 550 -- have sent notice that they plan to withhold money from the diocese and national church, Jennings said. St. Francis contributes 11 percent of the diocese's total annual revenue.
While I certainly sympathize with their move, that's what you get with denominational superstructures in the first place.
