[sydneyanglicans.net] 19 Sep 2008--One of the most significant conservative leaders in the United States, Bishop Robert Duncan of Pittsburgh, has been deposed from the ordained ministry by the House of Bishops of the Episcopal Church.

Bishop Duncan was accused by the National church leadership that his actions over recent months and years constitute “abandonment of the communion of this church”.

The bishop has been in conflict with revisionist leaders over the erosion of historic Christian teaching, particularly in the area of human sexuality.

The reported final tally was 88 yes, 35 no, with four abstentions, however Texan bishops were absent because of the aftermath of Hurricane Ike. Nine other bishops did not respond to the meeting call.

Immediately after the vote, Bishop Duncan was welcomed into the House of Bishops of the Province of the Southern Cone.
