FW Diocese Appeals for Alternative Primatial Oversight

It goes without saying that a female Presiding Bishop and Primate won’t go over too well in the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth. The Standing Committee of the Diocese of Fort Worth met last night following the election and adopted the following resolution:

The Bishop and the Standing Committee of the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth appeal in good faith to the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Primates of the Anglican Communion and the Panel of Reference for immediate alternative Primatial oversight and Pastoral Care following the election of Katharine Jefferts Schori as Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church.

This action is taken as a cooperative member of the Anglican Communion Network in light of the Windsor Report and its recommendations.

In other words, you can’t possibly expect us to function in a province led by a woman.
