[The Living Church] 8 Nov 2008--The Rt. Rev. Robert Duncan was invited to return as Bishop of Pittsburgh by clergy and lay deputies to a special convention on Nov. 7.

Bishop Duncan was deposed from the ordained ministry of The Episcopal Church by the House of Bishops on Sept. 18. However, a majority of deputies voted to leave The Episcopal Church at the annual diocesan convention on Oct. 4. After the vote, the leadership accepted an offer of temporary primatial oversight from Presiding Bishop Gregory Venables of the Anglican Church of the Southern Cone.

The special convention was called for the purpose of electing a new bishop. Bishop Duncan was the only person nominated prior to the convention and there were no nominations from the floor. Bishop Duncan received all votes cast; one ballot was invalidated.
