On a related note, the bishops did not formally discuss the Archbishop of Canterbury’s response to the scheduled consecration of the Rev. Canon Mary Glasspool as a Bishop Suffragan in the Diocese of Los Angeles. That statement was not on the bishops’ agenda, said the Rt. Rev. Kenneth Price, provisional bishop of the Diocese of Pittsburgh and secretary of the House of Bishops.
Nor did the bishops discuss a statement by bishops and rectors within Communion Partners who dissociated themselves from the election and scheduled consecration of Canon Glasspool.
We stuff our fingers in our ears as we say:
“We can’t hear you!”
…barn on fire…some horses in barn , some horses running wild…can’t discuss ! *NOT* on the agenda !
I think that I need an alanon meeting.
It might also be asked if the bishops discussed property litigation, a subject about which the Presiding Bishop has been quoted as having written the bishops earlier, “We can take this up again in March if you wish.†(See message dated August 1, 2009 posted on Anglican Mainstream.)
Increasingly, sadly, irrelevant.
I am not certain why the bishops should discuss either statement, of the ABC or the Communion Partner bishops.
What’s to discuss?
There’s really been six years of discussion [if we can call it that] and the HOB understands that honestly, a statement by the ABC is simply meaningless — and remember — they got their Lambeth invitation. So it doesn’t matter what the ABC says or doesn’t say.
Nice to be kept busy. Takes your mind off the things your are doing to Christians you claim some relationship to in other parts of the world. Perhaps they will get a report from the Peace and Justice people about the UN? Something else to fill in the time.
Substance in non-existent in the HOB.

Why discuss anything? Done deal. Just keep on keepin’ on.
