[Anglican Mainstream] 12 Jan 2008--The Bishop of Fort Worth has called upon US Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori to honor due process and the rule of law, and give him an opportunity to respond to charges he has “abandoned” his priestly orders.

On Dec 31, the Rt. Rev. Jack Iker—speaking through his attorney Marshall Searcy—wrote to Bishop Schori contesting the legality of her attempts to remove him from office and from the ordained ministry. He charged the Presiding Bishop had perverted the rule of law in the church and that her novel interpretations of the canons in aid of expelling out the last Anglo-Catholics from the Episcopal Church were creating further division within the Anglican Communion.
