The resignation of Rev Andrew Pearson as rector of the 11-hundred strong Advent Cathedral in Birmingham, Alabama has come as a shock.
The conventional wisdom had been that Advent could ride the storms of liberalism surrounding it, despite many other evangelicals being gradually forced out of America’s Episcopal Church over the last decade.
However, the Cathedral’s vestry has recently capitulated to the demands of the new Alabama Episcopal bishop.
Andrew says an ultimatum was put to him by two successive bishops, ‘change or leave the denomination.’
