To consent, or not to consent?

ENS has a story that beigns:

In letters sent October 19 to bishops with jurisdiction and all the Episcopal Church's diocesan standing committees, Via Media USA argues that the episcopacy of the bishop-elect of the Diocese of South Carolina "would represent a threat to the unity of our church and to the cohesion" of the diocese.

Lionel Deimel's essay: "No Consents, a Crucial Test for the Episcopal Church is here.

Father Jake talks about consents here, and Mark Harris weighs in here.

I don't have any insight on what our Standing Committee will do here in D. C. At General Convention Bishop Chane opposed resolution B033, (the manner of life resolution) by saying that he would consent "after prayer and careful consideration of any person duly elected by a diocese in this Church.”
