Bishop Defrocks Episcopal Priest Who Practices Islam

KTVL.COM: SEATTLE -- An Episcopal priest who lives in Seattle has been removed from her position for refusing to recant her faith in Islam.

Rev. Ann Holmes Redding served as director of faith formation at St. Mark's Episcopal Cathedral in Seattle until 2007 when she announced she also was a Muslim.

She believes the faiths are compatible at a fundamental level and practices both. But she was defrocked today by her Bishop, Geralyn Wolf in Rhode Island where Redding was ordained.

Wolf called Redding "a woman of utmost integrity" but said her open practice of Islam meant she abandoned the Episcopal church. [Source: KTVL] | Wednesday, April 1, 2009
