\n\tBishop Potter opens the Pennsylvania Diocesan Convention at St. Peter's Church in Pittsburgh with an address that says he has worked for 19 years to prepare the diocese to divide, but that he will not approve such a division until the portion wishing to form a new diocese has raised and invested a episcopacy fund of $25,000 – $30,000.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTrinity, Pittsburgh<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe convention moves to Trinity Church. St. Stephen's Sewickley is admitted to union with the diocese.  <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe committee on the division of the diocese reports, recommending preconditions for division:  1) a majority of clergy and parishes in the region must support the division; 2) a substantial episcopacy fund be in place; and 3) plans shall include a means by which all dioceses in the state could maintain ties with each other. The Committee assumed a three-way division.  On floor the Rev. George Slattery of St. James Church, Pittsburgh makes a counter motion that would put off division.  An amendment passes reducing the number of dioceses to result from the division to two, but then the convention tables the whole question, thus putting off a decision for still another year. <\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
