Inclusive’ bishops opposing Thew Forrester

[Bible Belt Blogger] 22 Apr 2009--It’s hard to tell whether bishop-elect Kevin G. Thew Forrester will receive consent to join the House of Bishops. But there are signs that he is facing a real battle. He would be the first bishop-elect rejected on theological grounds since 1875.

If the same bishops who backed Gene Robinson in 2003 backed Thew Forrester in 2009, the Michigander would win in a landslide. After all, Robinson won 63-42 in the House of Bishops, with two bishops not voting. And many of those anti-Robinson bishops have left the Episcopal Church, in some instances attempting to take their entire diocese with them.

But an analysis of the consent votes thus far suggests Thew Forrester’s election may be in jeopardy — even with the bishops of San Joaquin, Pittsburgh, Fort Worth and Quincy out of the picture.
