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.
