Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania Bishop Charles Bennison said Aug. 17 that since he returned to the diocesan offices the day before he has “concentrated on listening.”
“I have learned a great deal, and my listening has been very productive,” Bennison said in a statement emailed to Episcopal News Service by Ceisler Media and Issue Advocacy, a Philadelphia media relations firm.
The bishop said that he met with diocesan Assisting Bishop Rodney Michel and asked him to remain in his position “indefinitely.”
Unbelievable!
I’m almost beginning to feel a hint of compassion rising up for the poor guy.
This is great news. I can’t think of a better way to tank this Diocese and further the decline of the Episcopal Church.
Listening? Listening? He’s &%$(*& LISTENING? Productively? There is something so bizarre about this, so TECnoalogical, so tone-deaf, that………… that……. what’s the word i want? Larry
A nice way of saying it is: if a cow moos like he’s full of !@#$, he probably is.
His “listening” seems to have produced a large steaming pile of something foul-smelling.
Perhaps he could be declared mentally incompetent to perform his duties per the recent revisions to the disciplinary canons.
He’s an EPISCOPAL Bishop. The Episcopal “listening process” involves the heirarchy requiring YOU to listen to them until you agree with them or leave.
“It’s our way or the highway!”
Ah, yes, current ECUSA leadership and listening. Generally, a formula for complete deafness.
