Where, in the Diocese of Albany, can I find an inclusive and diverse and open-minded congregation?

Dear Albany Via Media:  The web site is very informative. I have printed out the individual affiliation form and will be mailing it soon. However, I have not found the answer to where I can kneel with other diversity accepting (or maybe even diversity loving???) Episcopalians.

Is there a listing of parishes that are open to discussing theological issues that are not approved of by Bishop Herzog? I live in Troy, NY.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Name withheld.  For this and other letters, we offer the following....

Date: Mon, 09 Feb 2004     Thanks so much for providing a place of refuge for those of us feeling hurt and alienated by the actions of our bishops in the past six months.  You may notice that there are no parishes listed as member parishes from the great white North Country, but just because our clergy are “in the bishop’s pocket” doesn’t mean that the the laity are.  A group called the Concerned Episcopalians of the St. Lawrence Deanery has been formed and our mission statement states our aim pretty clearly:     The mission of CESLD is to gain support for the Diocese of Albany to remain in full communion with all the churches in the Episcopal Church, USA and to resist efforts for Anglican realignment.  CESLD provides a forum for the exchange of information through meetings, a Web site and chat room.    For more information, please visit the CESLD Web site at http://www.cesld.org or call 315-265-1654.
