Fresno Bee: in San Joaquin Episcopal priests' church stance sought

The Episcopal Diocese of San Joaquin, based in Stockton, is planning a second go-round for priests and deacons to clarify whether they wish to remain in the U.S. Episcopal Church.

Bishop Jerry Lamb of the Episcopal Diocese of San Joaquin says “roughly a third” of the 110 priests and deacons responded to letters mailed July 10 asking them to clarify their status with the denomination. The deadline was Aug. 5. Lamb says he planned this week to send a second letter because of the low response.

    +Lamb says that “roughly a third” of the 110 priests and deacons responded to his letter. That means that 36.66666666 clergy responded. Not exactly a quorum, I believe.

    What a pathetic little reptile. It’s very good for him to have to write twice. Make it three, make fifty letters. Then let him try and make any charge stick to anyone who doesn’t reply. He was born to squirm, let him.

  3. Cennydd says:

    I think he’ll have to write again……or give up.

    #1, and when you consider that of those 36.666666 clergy, some may have told Lamb to walk east until his hat floats, Lamb might have to rent a phone booth for his convention.
