Tennessee Episocpal Priest Becomes Roman Catholic

"A conservative Episcopal priest, who is a top administrator in the Tennessee diocese, is leaving the church to become a Roman Catholic.

"Andrew Petiprin recently announced his plans to change his religious tradition and resign his post as the Episcopal diocese's canon to the ordinary. He wraps up his job on New Year's Eve, and Petiprin and his family will start 2019 in the Catholic Church.

"'I’m not really running away from the Episcopal Church, but running toward the Catholic Church,' Petiprin said in an interview."

A recent Tennessean article profiled Andrew Petiprin and his "journey home."
