  The orthodox Anglo-Catholic parish priest, Fr. David Ousley was forced out of his parish after 22 years, and a school was closed, because Ousley couldn't take any more of Bennison's heresies and simply wanted out.
  
  Bennison's inarticulate heresies and apostasies, which he believed to be embracing of all, appeared regularly in his own diocesan newspaper, "The Pennsylvanian Episcopalian."They were truly alarming, providing endless grist for this writer, but few if any of his clergy publicly said or did anything to oppose him or raise an outcry for his removal.

  In the DIOCESE OF PENNSYLVANIA, the Anglo-Catholic parish of St. James the Less lost on appeal to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, forcing out Fr. David Ousley, who had been there for 22 years and nearly all his parish with him.Earlier, he had closed down a school because of Bishop Bennison's rampage against him for daring to uphold what Bennison neither affirms nor believe.
  ...
  It was a bitter blow for Fr. David Ousley who has been the parish rector for 22 years.He has found another place for him and his congregation to hang their hats, so the parish buildings will lie fallow, with a school closed.
  ...
  Fr. David Ousley, parish rector is a not a party to the suit.
  ...
  "Clearly we are very disappointed at the decision; there is real sorrow in having to leave the church after being here for 22 years," Fr Ousley told VirtueOnline. Asked if he thought the congregation would go with him, Fr. Ousley said he expected the vast majority to do so and the building would probably close down.
  ...
  Fr. Ousley says a cemetery chapel has been made available to him and his congregation a few miles away where they will meet.He has no new name for the congregation and they have not come under any other ecclesiastical authority."We are independent for the moment," he said.
  ...
  As at the time of going to press, the diocese had not told Fr. Ousley that he must vacate the property."We have not had contact with the diocese but we expect to be thrown out," said Fr. Ousley. END THE FOLLOWING IS A STATEMENT BY FR. DAVID OUSLEY
