[Peoria Journal Star] 27 Sep 2007--Episcopal Diocese of Quincy officials won't know what they think of this week's Episcopal Church House of Bishops action until they have a chance to ponder it.

"I need to scrutinize it, literally pray over it and then sit down with my standing committee so I can have clergy and lay input," Bishop Keith Ackerman said Wednesday.

Bishop Peter Beckwith of the Episcopal Diocese of Springfield, though, said he was "disappointed" by the resolution and called it "the same old stuff."
