Colorado Episcopal priest deposed

The long-running dispute between the Rev. Don Armstrong and the Episcopal diocese of Colorado reached a new turning point when Armstrong was deposed _ that is, removed from ministry _ earlier this month.

Armstrong, who has led his parish in Colorado Springs to leave the Episcopal Church and join up with the Nigeria's Convocation of Anglicans in North America, was found guilty by a church court of stealing almost $400,000 from Grace Church.

Armstrong has denied the charges; Episcopal News Service has the story
