ECUSA's Presiding Bishop Defi(l)es the Canons

The Legal Follies of ECUSA, Part I

The posts in this category chronicle the manifold abuses and violations of the Constitution and Canons committed by ECUSA's current Presiding Bishop. They are presented below in chronological order from the earliest to the latest, and make for a sorry tale. I take no pleasure whatsoever in adding new posts to the list, but then the Presiding Bishop shows no indication of altering her uncanonical ways. At the end I provide a link to the Part IV of this Series, on the Abandonment Canons, because the Presiding Bishop has made a special practice of defiling them.
