It would have led to his "deposition" next March. But the PB saw fit to claim that Bishop Lawrence's verbal address was a written and voluntary renunciation of his orders, addressed to her and asking to be relieved of his ministry. <br /><br />Every aspect of her attempt to use Canon III.12.7 was a lie. You so want to hold Bishop Lawrence accountable -- what about holding Bishop Jefferts Schori accountable?<br /><br />It is the double standards of Episcopalians such as yourself which are tearing the Church apart. There is one law for you and all her other followers, and an entirely different one for those with whom you (and she) disagree.A. S.

What was the PB supposed to do, laugh the whole thing off as a joke?<br /><br /><br /><br />CStanfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16763955803750310733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-59910227807184062272012-12-06T15:00:50.165-08:002012-12-06T15:00:50.165-08:00May Light Perpetual shine upon her.

She was a sort of local saint -- never married, due to a brain injury suffered in the crib as an infant -- but always cheerful, interested in everyone's welfare, and willing to help in any way she could. We will all miss her, but are happy that she is now with her loving God, whom she in turn loved and <a href="http://www.theunion.com/news/obituaries/3609557-113/nevada-marcia-haley-church" rel="nofollow">served faithfully all her life</a>.A.
