Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori has accepted the nomination of four additional bishops to the “episcopal visitor” plan announced at the start of the recent House of Bishops’ meeting in New Orleans. This brings the total number of visitors to 12.
The four are: Bishop Philip Duncan of the Central Gulf Coast (Fla.), Bishop Duncan Gray of Mississippi, Bishop Suffragan Rayford High of Texas, and assisting Bishop Rodney Michel of Maryland. At least one of the four new visitors was unaware their application had been accepted when contacted by The Living Church.
If nominated, I will not run.
If elected, I will not serve.
Twelve – that should provide more scope for them to visit each other. I hope they have a nice time.
I probably have not been paying enough attention to my own diocese recently. Bishop Michel will only be in the assisting position, presumably, until the new bishop is consecrated early next summer.
I think she is trying to put forward anyone who has ‘Duncan’ in their name just to upset the ACN;)
#4, Nice one.
[i]She has accepted the nomination . . . .??[/i] Who did the nominating?
They don’t know what they are doing. They aren’t consulting those who asked for APO. This is really strange.
It’s not strange at all.
They are preparing a task force to go in and try and “rescue” people from the diocese that are leaving.
Having been on vacation during September, I presume I missed the names of the first eight. Can anyone bring me up to date
Do these visitors come each with a horse?
An elephant…occasionally pink, usually white.
A little TEC mathematics:
[blockquote]”I am grateful for the willingness of all these bishops to reach out to their brother bishops in time of distress,” said Bishop Jefferts Schori.[/blockquote]

[blockquote]At least one of the four new visitors was unaware their application had been accepted when contacted by The Living Church.[/blockquote]

idiocy
1. You and your family will still be “Episcopalian” without differentiation or established in an orthodox denomination.
2. Every dollar you give will still be to TEC.
Ergo, EV is clearly not adequate.
Four more horsemen of the apocolypse…I’m with you on that one Chris.
Somehow, I doubt if they’ll be overwhelmed with requests for their services.
good one 15.
