Star-Telegram: Fort Worth-area Episcopalians elect provisional bishop

The newly elected provisional bishop of the reorganized Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth said Saturday that he will work to “make the wide embrace of Christ’s love available” in the wake of a bitter split between two factions of the diocese.

The Rt. Rev. Edwin F. “Ted” Gulick Jr. made his remarks during a news conference at Trinity Episcopal Church after his nearly unanimous election, with 80 of 81 delegates voting for him and one delegate abstaining.

He will lead a group that chose to remain with the Episcopal Church after a majority of delegates in the 24-county diocese voted in November to leave the church.

    I wonder how many people are in this diocese? Was everyone invited to be a delegate?

    There are 2 people “disaffected” by the split in our parish. One of them transferred out the day after our Diocesan Convention in Nov. He ended up going as a “delegate” from our parish. What a sham!!!
