Quincy meets with the Presiding Bishop and reorganizes

The Presiding Bishop was in Peoria over Palm Sunday weekend met with a special synod convened in that diocese to reconstruct the leadership ranks that were emptied when a large portion of the diocesan membership voted to leave the Episcopal Church.

The deputies to the Synod unanimously elected a slate of candidates to fill the vacant position and voted to name a provisional bishop and approved a new diocesan budget.

Thinking Anglicans has an excellent collection of links to news reports and documents from the visit here. We'd been meaning to get around to posting this news, but Thinking Anglicans has done such a cracker-jack job that we see no reason to duplicate their efforts.
