Episcopal Church in the Philippines Rejects Covenant

George Conger, in a story for The Church of England Newspaper, reports that the bishops of the Episcopal Church in the Philippines have voted not to adopt the Anglican Covenant. The basis of the story appears to be the 2nd Quarter 2011 issue of The Philippine Episcopalian.

The Episcopal Church in the Philippines thus becomes the first church of the Anglican Communion to reject the Covenant outright.
