Episcopal Rift Across Islands Leads to Church Shakeup
On July 30 Dr. Russell resigned his chair but the fe refused to accept. A tax bill seeks to raise revenue by taxing sugar ten dollars a ton for all sugar on the islands. The Episcopal church is torn by the Anglican bishop dispute as Rev John Osborne leads a faction claiming to form The Episcopal Church at Large. Bishop Willis denies recognition and excommunication follows with Osborn asserting no schism exists. Time will settle the dispute and loyalty to the church remains.
