Before asking his final question, [Alan] Runyan placed the Constitution and Canons of TEC for 2006 and 2009 on the edge of the witness stand and asked Daniel to identify them.
Runyan asked the witness to turn to the page in those documents where it says the diocese cannot withdraw from the Episcopal Church and read it to the court. “Is there a page or a phrase, or a sentence, in either of those that says, quote, a diocese may not leave the Episcopal Church without the consent of the general convention?” asked Runyon. “I don’t believe so,” answered [Bishop Clifton] Daniel. “But I may be wrong.”
“I’m sure it will be pointed out if you are.“ answered Runyan.
Wow. How long before they “depose” this guy?
Looking at the other site that puts up the disreputable reports, the blogger stated that “once he was off the stand” he corrected what he wanted to say. What that means, of course, is that his “correction” would not have been allowed to stand on the stand.
Strike two! I was thinking the same thing Katherine.
Now, now, he will not be deposed. Conciliated, perhaps, the TEC equivalent of a re-education camp.
Milton Finch, I, too, wonder where they are getting their information. I know someone who is at the trial. One of those bloggers has NEVER been in the courtroom and the other has only been seen a few times.
