The Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh wants to name a provisional bishop, the next step in remaking itself after a split last year, officials said.
The church will vote on appointing the Right Rev. Kenneth L. Price Jr., an assisting bishop of the Diocese of Southern Ohio, at its convention Oct. 17.
“It’s the next logical step in the path that we’re on,” said the Rev. James Simons, president of the diocese’s Standing Committee, which recommended the appointment.
Might as well strike whilst the lead is ready for the molding into grape shot, eh? Nothing quite like a faux dioces electing a faux bishop and acclaimed by a faux standing committee acting for a faux pope. Really, who needs fiction or Hollywood?
