"The group also announced that it was changing its name to The Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh. It was formally known as the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh (Anglican). The group they split from is known as the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh of the Episcopal Church of the United States.

"The split between the groups was created on Oct. 4, 2008, when the majority of clergy and laity at a convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh voted to follow Bishop Robert Duncan out of the Episcopal Church, which they believed had failed to uphold biblical doctrine on matters ranging from salvation to sexuality.

"On Oct. 6, Allegheny County Judge Joseph James ruled that, in accordance with a 2005 agreement, the Episcopal diocese in which 27 congregations remained was entitled to centrally held diocesan property, such as endowments.

"The Anglican diocese said it was appealing that decision because it feared it would set a precedent that would allow the Episcopal diocese to take not only $6 million of centrally held diocesan assets but also $14 million of diocesan assets that are held in trust for local parishes."
