[edit] Split article?

Just noting that this article seems to be about two things:

  1. The historic Anglican parish Truro Parish
  2. The (past and present) church Truro Chruch

Should these be created into separate articles? I think it may resolve some of the ambiguity in the opening paragraph and beyond.

[edit] Reference Link replacement

The referenced source link for this article is dead. Can someone provide another? Mmoyer 17:20, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Orthodox Episcopal"

If Truro Parish is now an "orthodox Episcopal" congregation and therefore no longer part of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America, there should be some paragraphs on what happened to cause the parish to break away.--Ken Gallager 18:32, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

  • We're currently voting to break away [1]. I attend Truro, and I've never heard the term "Orthodox Episcopal." Right now, we're just Episcopal. If we split, we'll be Anglican. -LtNOWIS 03:47, 17 December 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Anglican realignment

I have added paragraphs on Anglican realignment to the Anglicanism and Anglican Communion pages. Having seen how those pages are captive to some very "riteous" Anglicans, I doubt they will last. Anyone up to working on an article on Anglican realignment? I'll be glad to get it started. EastmeetsWest 02:23, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Opening paragraph

According to WP style, the opening paragraph should first clearly identify the topic of the article.

There are two problems with it's current opening paragraph. First, the church in question refers to itself as Truro Church and that is how it is commonly known. [2]

Secondly, like any congregation, its denominational affiliation should take precedence in identifying it not its foundation which belongs in the history section. Someone looking up Truro ought to know right away if this is the Truro they are looking for. That is more readily achieved by its CANA affiliation than by some distant historical facts.
