Clergy renew allegiance; former bishop saddened

[ChristianWeek] 15 Feb 2008--For Don Harvey it was a “dark, disturbing day” when Anglican clergy in Newfoundland renewed their licences and took new vows under his successor, Cyrus Pitman, the new bishop of Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador.

What grieves Harvey the most is that not one priest objected to it.“If anyone had wanted to, they could very easily have… signed it under protest,” says Harvey. “I don't know why I have to sign something I've already agreed to and sworn before God I would obey.
