This from the St Petersburg Florida times:

Six churches in the Diocese of Central Florida, which
has 44,000 Members and stretches from Citrus County to
Vero Beach, recently announced plans to sever ties
with the Episcopal Church and the diocese. Two church
affiliates also plan to break away. The move brings
the debate closer to the Tampa Bay area, home to
33,000 Episcopalians. 

<snip>
Where are the affected churches and members? 

Gloria Dei Church in Cocoa; Church of the Good
Shepherd in Maitland; St. Edward's Church in Mount
Dora; Grace Church in Ocala; Trinity Church in Vero
Beach and Holy Cross Church in Winter Haven, according
to officials at the Diocese of Central Florida. The
church affiliates are from St. Philip's in Lake Nona
and St. Nicholas in Poinciana. 

"--------------------------------

Have these congregations aligned with any existing
communions?
