Fired London cleric makes case to Archbishop of Canterbury

[VirtueOnline] November 18, 2005--By revoking my licence the Bishop of Southwark has followed the juridical and schismatical route of leaving us either "in communion" or "out of communion." He has written in his letter to the clergy of 8 November that "we do not do schism in the Diocese of Southwark". But that precisely is what he is doing. We - myself and the many sharing my views - have always talked about an "impairment of communion" and a "temporary" one at that. Is it right for the Bishop to formalize schism in this way?
