[Pittsburgh Post-Gazette] 17 Jan 2008--Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts-Schori of the Episcopal Church has warned Bishop Robert Duncan of Pittsburgh that he has been declared out of communion with the Episcopal Church and is danger of being removed from office if he does not abandon his efforts to realign the diocese with an Anglican province outside the United States.

Earlier today the Associated Press distributed a story claiming that Bishop Duncan had been banned from his duties. In fact, a key committee of three bishops on Friday had refused Bishop Jefferts-Schori's request to take immediate action against Bishop Duncan.
