Troubled times for St. Georges Episcopal Church in Valley Lee...the rector of the church, Reverend Christopher Halliday, was relieved of duties as rector of the church and will be headed back overseas never again being able to lead a congregation in the USA (Mr. Halliday is from England/Ireland & was here on a green card). It seems that Mr. Halliday "violated his sacred vows" and had an affair with someone over in England while he was there recently. And, it came out that this is not the first time it has happened in his marriage. So, the Bishop of the Washington Diocese took swift action and gave him the boot!
Rev'd Halliday's wife is also a priest and is the rector for St. Andrews Episcopal on St. Andrews Church Rd. She took a temporary leave of absence (understandable).
Pray for this congrgation as they will need all the prayers and help they can get to get them through this event.
