Discussion sparked by Bishop Potter's death pushes talk of splitting the Episcopal diocese of New York. Proposals would group Hudson River counties with Bishop Doane's Athens diocese to form a Hudson diocese. Clergy and lay leaders say the current diocese is unwieldy and a coadjutor bishop may be needed. Initiatives hinge on Greer asking for assistance per church law.
