	Article Spong
		It appears that the intent of the amended canons was to establish a process for a determination by the House of Bishops that the alleged heretical statement was in fact heretical, and contrary to the doctrine of the Episcopal Church.
		The resulting scenario is that a bishop of the Episcopal Church allegedly holds and teaches, publicly or privately, and advisedly, a doctrine contrary to that held by the Episcopal Church.
		The House of Bishops then determines, by a majority vote, that the doctrine held and taught advisedly by the bishop is in fact contrary to the doctrine of the Episcopal Church.

	titusonenine » A Public Statement in Response to the Presiding Bishop
		Letters recently written to the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church and to the Archbishop of Canterbury privately and confidentially by twenty-one colleagues have been aired and responded to, in the case of the Presiding Bishop at least, in a very public way.
		The Presiding Bishop indicates that “the circulation of the letter to me and the Archbishop of Canterbury has been reported by The Living Church.” An important point must be made here: the letters were sent, not circulated.
		The Presiding Bishop expresses his sense that it was “extremely discourteous” to himself personally and to his Office not to have been copied on the letter to the Archbishop.

		The Presiding Bishop responds to the Ohio Consecrations
		Given that the House of Bishops will meet later this week, I can only surmise that their intention is to co-opt the bishops’; agenda and provoke a reaction that will appear sufficiently lacking in pastoral concern for “dissenting minorities” to justify what they have done in the eyes of others.
		I\’m told the bishop in a diocese very close to mine threatens, and in at least one case, actually is, appointing a vicar to a large, well established church.
