Embattled Episcopal rector joins Anglican denomination By David O'Reilly Inquirer Staff Writer The Rev. David Moyer, whose crusade against liberalizing trends in the Episcopal Church USA has made him an international figure, announced yesterday that he will become a bishop in a breakaway Anglican denomination. Moyer, whose diocesan bishop defrocked him in 2002, told his parish, the Church of the Good Shepherd in Rosemont, yesterday that he has been elected a bishop in the traditionalist Anglican Church in America. He will be consecrated at his parish on Feb. 16. Several traditionalist bishops and archbishops from around the Anglican world have announced they would serve as co-consecrators. Moyer and his parish have refused to accept his defrocking. Yesterday, wearing a traditional black cassock at the coffee hour following high Mass, Moyer, 53, said he hoped his new position would help bring traditionalist Episcopalians and Anglicans "into union with the one, true church." "God is striving to do a whole new thing to unite his people," he said. Later he exclaimed in Latin: "Ut unum sint," or "that all may be one," a reference to Pope John Paul II's 1995 encyclical of that name, in which the pope invited non-Roman Catholic Christians into greater affiliation with the papacy. Although Moyer declined to discuss what he meant by "one, true church," the Anglican Church in America's presiding bishop said last week that the denomination, which opposes women's ordination, seeks communion with the Roman Catholic Church. In a telephone interview from his office in Clive, Iowa, Archbishop Louis W. Falk said that while the Anglican Church in America numbers only 8,000 members - "the size of some Catholic parishes" - it belongs to the Traditional Anglican Church, which claims approximately 500,000 members worldwide. Falk said the Traditional Anglican Church, whose primate resides in Adelaide, Australia, has been in conversation with Vatican officials about possibly becoming a semi-autonomous Anglican rite of the Roman Catholic Church, similar to the Ukrainian Catholic and Greek Catholic rites. The Anglican Church hopes to retain use of traditional Anglican liturgies and prayers, Falk said. He declined to comment on the status of those talks, however, saying the church "agreed to make no announcement" until the Vatican does. Moyer was ordained an Episcopal priest in 1979 and was made rector of Good Shepherd in 1989. He will not have a geographical jurisdiction in the Anglican Church, but will serve as head of its military chaplaincy. Falk said Moyer would likely become a leader in both the American and Traditional Anglican Churches, "since that's his gift." In September 2002, Bishop Charles Bennison, head of the five-county Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania, defrocked Moyer after he repeatedly barred Bennison from making Episcopal visits to Good Shepherd. Moyer has frequently accused Bennison of blasphemy and heresy for allowing the blessings of same-sex unions and the ordination of avowed homosexuals. He has also faulted Bennison and other Episcopal leaders for modernist interpretations of Scripture. Moyer is suing Bennison in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court to be reinstated. The diocese has recently begun proceedings to evict Moyer from Good Shepherd's rectory and to ensure that the parish buildings and endowment remain in the diocese. Bennison could not be reached for comment yesterday. His spokesman, Paul Brodeur, said he would not comment because of the legal disputes. On Wednesday Good Shepherd's vestry voted to keep Moyer on as its rector. Yesterday, however, he and vestry members told anxious parishioners that they were optimistic that Good Shepherd would remain a part of the diocese and the Episcopal Church USA despite this new development. "The risk has not increased by David's taking this on," parish attorney John Lewis said.
