Iker under misapprehension

Jack Iker, former bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth, has written a letter to Presiding Bishop asking her not to attend the Special Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth. Under the misapprehension that he is the bishop of the diocese he cites Canon III.12.3.c of the Episcopal Church. His letter was mailed the day the Episcopal News Service reported there would be a special convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth on February 7th.

Some in the Church of England have questioned why it is necessary to go through with the unpleasantness of deposing bishops.

What's he been smoking? Does he really believe the Canon he cites should apply since he's now a bishop in the Southern Cone? Maybe he needs to be reminded that he left TEC by his own declaration and has been defrocked. To quote Ray Charles "Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more".

You can lead a bishop to information but you can't make 'em think!

This is really gross. My favorite part of the whole ridiculous letter is the cc to the Anglican Primates LOL. What a (sore) loser.

Misogynists cannot be upstaged by a WOMAN. He has to do something to try to get the spotlight back on himself. You know how egotists are.
