Female Episcopal priest resigns curate post in New Jersey
Rev. Nancy Wittig, one of 11 female deacons ordained to Episcopal priesthood in Philadelphia, resigns as St. Peter's Morristown curate after vestry declined to sign endorsement papers. She cites lack of confidence in her ministry and health toll, while rector Hughes Garvey expresses regret and praise for her witness. The resignation follows prior controversy over ordination validity. Wittig, 29, married to a Methodist pastor, expects her first child in May. She traces her vocation to seminary and cites church oppression as motivation to act. Her background includes birth in Maryland, education at UNC Chapel Hill, Virginia Theological Seminary, and Duke, with husband serving Mt. Horeb UMC. The couple married in a Washington area ceremony attended by Presidents Ford family.
