[Steering Committe North Texas Episcopalians] 24 Nov 2008--The Steering Committee North Texas Episcopalians is heartened by the announcement that the Most Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori, presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church, has inhibited Bp. Jack Iker from sacramental duties as bishop in the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth. The inhibition does not preclude administrative acts.

He now has 60 days to recant his decision to leave the Episcopal Church. If he does not, at their next meeting, the House of Bishops will most likely act to depose him as a bishop in the Episcopal Church, as has been done with Robert Duncan, former bishop of Pittsburgh; and John David Schofield, former bishop of San Joaquin, both of whom attempted to uncanonically remove their entire dioceses from the Episcopal Church.
