In 2006, the congregation of The Falls Church divided over the question of whether or not to leave the Episcopal Church, effectively creating two congregations: The Falls Church (Anglican) and The Falls Church (Episcopal). Following years of conflict within the Episcopal Church over issues surrounding Biblical authority and interpretation (including issues such as human sexuality, the role of men and women in ordained ministry, and liturgical reform) several congregations within the Episcopal Church discerned that the only way for them to remain faithful was to \"walk apart\" from the Episcopal Church, yet remain in communion with other Anglican Churches.
