To anyone who still cares about what was once a fine old and traditional church, I will say only this: what the present leadership of the Episcopal Church (USA) is sowing, so shall they also reap. To invade one of its existing Dioceses in a bid to overthrow its diocesan officers, its infrastructure and its stalwart Christian supporters is utter madness. It will produce only an orgy of self-destruction, from which the Church herself cannot emerge intact.
Under the new Title IV provisions, I’m not sure if Mrs Schori has the ability to quash allegations made against a bishop. I’m wondering if this isn’t the work of some spectacularly stupid clique in TEC’s oligarchy. If this particular decision actually emanated from Her office, she is even more inept and unthinking than one could imagine.
