[Virtue Online] 1 April 2008--Two letters recently written by the attorney for Bishop Robert Duncan to David Booth Beers, Chancellor to Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori, show that the Presiding Bishop has violated the Canons of The Episcopal Church and denied Bishop Duncan fundamental due process:
After failing to get the necessary consents to inhibit Bishop Duncan for "abandonment of communion", Jefferts Schori announced her intention to bring the "issue" of Bishop Duncan to the House of Bishops meeting in September, even though the canons refer only to an "inhibited bishop".
Jefferts Schori wrote to the HOB saying she hoped for a one-day May meeting, but felt "that there was not adequate desire for it on the part of the House...so this will be determined after a poll in April."
