	Anglican Journal, December 2003 -- Bishops consider dissenters
		The bishops authorized a task force “to draw up terms and conditions for adequate provision for episcopal oversight of dissenting minorities in the Anglican Church of Canada,” to consult with the Archbishop of Canterbury through the Canadian primate and to report to the April 2004 meeting of the house of bishops.
		The house of bishops also asked the task force to appoint a mediator that would negotiate an interim role for a visiting bishop in New Westminster that would be acceptable to Bishop Ingham and to the parishes that believe gay relationships should not be blessed.
		Bishop Ann Tottenham of Toronto, one of two female bishops, said she did not wish to “sound mean,” but that “the departure of people who don't agree isn't a good reason (not) to do things,” noting that Anglicans who didn't agree with the ordination of women 25 years ago also threatened to leave the church.

	Epicenter General Convention - Deputies' Journal
		Although the Diocese of Texas deputation voted to deny consent to the consecration, this measure passed the House of Deputies and was sent to the House of Bishops for concurrence or non-concurrence.
		On Sunday afternoon, The House of Deputies voted to consent to the consecration of The Rev. Canon V. Gene Robinson as the bishop of New Hampshire.
		Bishop Griswold said the Convention was meeting to discern God’s desire for this “curious people” known as Episcopalians, made up of a collection of dioceses, each with a different culture and point-of-view.

		"The response of the House of Bishops did not rise to the level expected by the Communion," Duncan said in a news release published by his group, the Anglican Communion Network.

	Profile of the Episcopal House of Bishops
		For example, see the House of Bishops' Teaching on Human Sexuality, written to be a pastoral but reduced through parliamentary action at the 1994 convention to the lesser status of a "teaching." The House of Bishops cannot legally function as a Roman Catholic magesterium.
		The 1977 House of Bishops' conscience clause, for example, was passed to allow bishops who disagreed with the 1976 canon permitting the ordination of women not to recognize such ordinations in their own Sees.
		Furthermore, 18.4 percent of all diocesan chancellors are in the House.

	THE BISHOPS’ COVENANT: AN ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION
		The House of Bishops “Covenant” comes at an “extraordinary” time in the life of ECUSA and of the Anglican Communion, a time when clearly some “extraordinary action” is required if both the church and the Communion is not to divide irreparably and the witness of these Christian bodies become maimed beyond recognition.
		The recent ECUSA House of Bishops meeting follows the publication of the Windsor Report (TWR) from the Lambeth Commission, an earlier response by the House of Bishops in January, and finally the February Communiqué from the Primates’ Meeting in Newry.
		That the House of Bishops should take such an approach, apply it to the very need for, character and exercise of episkope, and justify it in terms of the humility of “forbearance” is ethically inappropriate and pastorally depleting.

	The Constitution of the Episcopal Church (1991)
		Bishops may be consecrated for foreign lands upon due application therefrom, with the approbation of a majority of the Bishops of this Church entitled to vote in the House of Bishops, certified to the Presiding Bishop, under such conditions as may be prescribed by Canons of the General Convention.
		It shall be lawful for a Diocese, with consent of the Bishop of that Diocese, to elect one or more Suffragan Bishops, without right of succession, and with seat and vote in the House of Bishops.
		No one shall be ordained and consecrated Bishop until the attainment of thirty years of age; nor without the consent of a majority of the Standing Committees of all the Dioceses, and the consent of a majority of the Bishops of this Church exercising jurisdiction.

		In a statement written to the Episcopal Church at large, the bishops said, "We are confident that our household of faith is large enough to embrace us all." But they also acknowledged that anger, anguish, and division have been on the rise over issues of homosexuality.
		Several prominent conservative bishops boycotted, unwilling to participate with the body that approved the consecration of Bishop Gene Robinson of New Hampshire -- the church's first openly gay bishop.
		Bishop SALMON : I came here committed to present what I thought needed to be said, and I've done that, and I've tried to do that with grace and with clarity, and I am very clear about where we stand in the diocese.

	House of Bishops/Deputies Items
		In a House of Bishops where over ninety percent of the conservative, liberal, and moderate diocesan bishops are in good standing with each other, perhaps it is tolerable to have a network of bishops who opt out.
		During this two-week assembly, bishops and primates from around the world gather at Canterbury, England, worshipping at the altar of Canterbury Cathedral established by St. Augustine in 597 AD., and hearing reports of how Christians around the world are living out their faith.

	Report to the House of Bishops
		The individual then indicated to Bishop Ely that he had sent the E-mail to many bishops.
		The Presiding Bishop asked me to conduct the investigation, the focus of which was to determine if either or both of the concerns raised constitute cause for further investigation and thus sufficient reason to postpone the process of seeking consents to the election of the Rev. Canon V. Gene Robinson.
		Bishop Ely knows the individual and is maintaining ongoing pastoral contact with him and his family, both personally and through their parish priest.

		The House of Bishops, which has convened since the time of the American Revolution, complements the House of Deputies (elected laity and clergy from each diocese) in forming the Episcopal Church's bicameral legislative body formalized in 1789 and known as the General Convention.
		The bishops' conversations are expected to address ways of deepening collegiality as the church moves forward with the majority of its dioceses having affirmed, by vote of General Convention last summer, an openly gay bishop whose ministry is opposed by nine dioceses aligned in a six-month-old network of affiliation.
		Spokane Bishop James Waggoner and his wife, Gloria, will welcome bishops and their spouses to the gathering and to the Diocese of Spokane (further information about the diocese is posted on-line at http://www.spokanediocese.org/.)

	NIGERIA TO THE HOUSE OF BISHOPS
		I now write to you in response to the recent Covenant statement from ECUSA’s House of Bishops during their spring meeting in Camp Allen, Texas and also because there have been a number of misleading reports about the recent Primates’ meeting in Northern Ireland.
		NOTE: The Primate of All Nigeria (the leader of the African Primates) argues that for any hope of meaningful reconciliation, the Bishops of ECUSA must apologize for their sinful consecration of an openly gay bishop rather than apologize for their failure to consult and the effect of their actions.
		The statement answered the call for a moratorium with regard to the ordinations of non-celibate homosexuals with a pledge to withhold consent to the consecration of any bishop until 2006 — I find this response to be disingenuous since it holds the entire church to ransom for the sin of a few.

		Failure of the House of Bishops at the 1991 General Convention to pass the canonical language declaring that all bishops, priests and deacons refrain from sexual intercourse outside marriage; and

		Using the same language as the Windsor Report, the House of Bishops is expressing regret for the damage caused to the Anglican bonds of affection by the actions of ECUSA.
		The House of Bishops is simply the first institution to do so â“ the Executive Council will no doubt join in and the next General Convention will probably have a lot to do with it.
