The United Statesonians have many more bishops, suffragan and resigned, who will not be participating in the vote.<br /><br /><i>"The bishops of the Communion have collectively acknowledged that a period of gracious restraint in respect of actions which are contrary to the mind of the Communion is necessary if our bonds of mutual affection are to hold."</i><br />Please correct me if needed, but is this not a <i>falsehood</i>? When did the bishops of the Communion agree to this collectively? I only recall it being imposed on them from above by the ABC, in the manner of his friend in Rome, The Rat.<br /><br />BTW, your comment about episcopal elections should only be directed to the English. The Anglican churches in Scotland, Wales and N. Ireland all elect bishops in some form.Brother Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333089314994730330noreply@blogger.com
