[Virtue Online] June 16, 2005--....Now that the Florida Annual Convention has come and gone, the time has come for action. Clergy representing the seven congregations mentioned below are meeting with Bishop John Howard today at 2:00 pm to ask him, according to procedures set forth by the Archbishop of Canterbury, to grant us alternative episcopal oversight (AEO) from another bishop who is acceptable to us. Since I am speaking on your behalf, I wanted you to know the contents of the letter that we're giving to Bishop Howard today. Therefore, I'm sending this to you while we're meeting with him. I will keep you posted....
