Diocese of Pittsburgh Developments (IV): An ENS article

[Jim] Simons and [Andrew] Roman contacted Jefferts Schori by email to tell her what had happened and to ask her to consult with the Standing Committee about providing episcopal assistance for the diocese. The Presiding Bishop replied with her recognition of Simons, Murph and Roehrich as the diocesan Standing Committee and told them that she had asked Clayton Matthews, bishop for pastoral development, to assist help them obtain that assistance.

“I give thanks for the work that the Standing Committee has undertaken and look forward to learning of your progress as you move forward in this mission,” Jefferts Schori said in her letter. “You and the people of the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh continue in my prayers and those of Episcopalians across this church.”

Jefferts Schori has also written to each of the former members of the Standing Committee, notifying them that they are no longer part of the ecclesiastical authority of the Diocese of Pittsburgh. The Pittsburgh Standing Committee became the ecclesiastical authority on September 19 when Duncan’s deposition prevented him from exercising his authority in the diocese.

  1. BishopOfSaintJames says:

    My dear Madame Jefferts-Schori. You have no authority in the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh. You never will have. You are a humanoid female. You are forbidden to hold office according to The Holy Bible and teachings of Jesus. And you are not a Christian based on the fact you were never baptized as a Christian. Therefore on these two matters at point you are not legally in office of any kind. All action that you have taken since being illegally put into office are null and void. Any action that you and the church takes forward in the policy of inclusiveness and taking property for yourself is illegal. It is illegal because you and the liberals say you are doing this new thing cause of being told too by The Holy Ghost. For one thing this is not biblical. The Holy Ghost would never tell anyone to go forth and steal property belonging to God. It does not belong to you or to the national church. It belongs to God. There is no national church.
    The sooner you accept in your own arrogant mind that what you are doing is wrong, the better. But since you have sinned against The Holy Ghost there is no turning back for what you have done. You are guilty of eternal sins that God will never forgive you for. You will be justly punished for stealing, plundering the treasuries of the church to suit the Luciferian wants. It is best for you to come to terms and leave Duncan and the diocese alone.
