“We wonder by what authority the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church in the United States presumes to inhibit a bishop of the Province of the Southern Cone. We do not recognize the authority of the Presiding Bishop over us.

The archflamingo KJS is straining the bonds of affection with archbishop Venables, is she not?

I think the Listening Process in an Indaba group setting with +++Rowan Williams presiding and mediating between ++KJS and ++Venables at the next Primates’ meeting will be very helpful at re-establishing those strained bonds of affection.

Bp. Iker is to be highly commended for his directness. And I’m delighted how he said “Katherine Jefferts Schori has no authority over me or my ministry in the Church of God. She never has, and she never will.”

Note – it’s not “TEC”, or “this church”, or “the Anglican Communion” – it’s the Lord’s church! And, while being respectful, he didn’t yield to political correctness and give her an ecclesial title – for she has none; she can no more be a bishop than a squid can be a communion wafer.

Bishop Iker – you have joined the ranks of the martyrs like your predecessor, +A. Donald Davies, who considered his deposition to be a badge of honor. Your display of steadfast faith in the face of tyranny and persecution is truly reassuring.

TUAD Rowan has only two ++, as does my Archbishop ++Greg. Calamity Kate only has one +, not deserved in my opinion.

You have no power here, now, begone before someone drops a house on you…

Hmmm, if she did science like she does canons, no wonder she couldn’t get grants. That and her math, Making up data and poor math skills are looked down upon in the peer-reviewed scientific journals which hold a very poor view of diversity in the application of those principles, for sure.

The notice of inhibition used “CST” vice “EST”: is that canonical?

Cheers

Who cares, Mr. Heinrichs!!! Ms. Schori-Jefferts was glad to have +Iker inhibited when she could; with +Duncan, since she couldn’t get him inhibited, she simply had him DIRECTLY DEPOSED by majority vote of her fellow-Quisling “bishops”!!!

Canons or no canons, TEO is no longer anything like a church of God – it’s now so totally become a synagogue of Satan as to be prime evidence of how Our Lord has ABANDONED it to its reprobatehood and apostasy!!!! Like +Iker, +Schofield, +Ackermann (even if he’s ill) and +Duncan, we can all join in and say to her as “McGregor” put it above: “BEGONE!!!!”

Canons mean what the 815 leadership wants them to mean, and they get to change that day by day. Perhaps we may even see hourly changes in the months to come. “Communion Partner” bishops and priests have to know that they will be cut off without mercy, especially after the Convention next summer. Their failure to take defensive action boggles the mind.

Actually, Katherine, those would be the double secret canons as set out in a little-known codicil to the TEO Constitution.

Their failure to take defensive action boggles the mind.

Katherine –
I heartily concur. I do not understand the thinking of +Lawrence and others. They seem to think that they exist in little isolated islands, far beyond the reach of 815 Second Avenue. Perhaps they thing that St. Rowan of Canterbury will come to their rescue armed with the Anglican Covenant ®

I confess I am mightily confused at such wishful thinking on the part of seemingly intelligent people.

On VirtueOnline, there’s an article at this moment in time suggesting that the Province of the Southern Cone is the one that could be suspended from Mr. Rowan Williams’ “Anglican Communion” because of the great and wonderful work they’ve been doing to succour those of us living “in partibus infidelium”.

If that rumour’s true, I sure hope it happens and ASAP – that will deep-six matters in a formal schism the way they should have been many years ago!!!

Sasha,

Gee whiz, why can’t you tell us how you really feel?
