We had an event right here in La Crescenta.
There's a historic fieldstone church just down the street from me, St. Luke's of-the-Mountains. When the Episcopalians voted to allow gay ministers, the local minister organizes a revolt and convinced a majority of the parishioners to support leaving the Episcopal Church and joining the African Anglican Church, a guaranteed rabidly no-queers church.
Of course, nearly half the parishioners left. Then ensued a long and vicious battle over the church property. Eventually the Episcopal Church won, and the church has sported a big "All are Welcome" banner out front since then.
The African Anglicans are now time-sharing the Seventh Day Adventists Chapel in Glendale on Sundays, with Wednesday services at the YMCA Chapel in La Cañada
