USA Today reports that Anne Holmes Redding, an Episcopal priest out of Seattle, may be defrocked for preaching both Christianity and Islam from the pulpit. Redding, who will mark the 25th anniversary of her ordination later this month, believes she can practice both faiths simultaneously and refuses to recant her Islamic faith. Bishop Geralyn Wolf, who has authority over Redding, has told her that Redding's "conversion to Islam constitutes an abandonment of the Christian faith and she must recant by March 30 or lose her status as a priest."
An example of the value of accountability within the church! Definitely something all church leaders need.
