Fort Worth-area congregations remaining loyal to the Episcopal Church officially reorganized as a diocese Saturday, electing a provisional bishop and other leaders.
Present for the packed special meeting was the Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori, presiding bishop of the 2 million-member Episcopal Church.
She declared that the diocese “is again a full part of the Episcopal Church.”
In November, a large majority of clergy and lay delegates ”“ led by Bishop Jack Iker ”“ voted to withdraw the diocese from the Episcopal Church and realign with a more conservative, Argentina-based province of the Anglican Communion.
May Fort Worth have best Vichies from us all!
