I've been to this church. This is a very prestigious Episcopal church, one of the oldest in America. George Washington was one on it's vestry (board of elders). The suburban town of "Falls Church" Virginia (ca. 1690s) is named for this particular church. In the '80s evangelicals got control of the vestry and were able to call a solidly biblically orthodox Rector. Thank goodness, no, really thank God they are taking public action against their apostate bishop.

This is the same Bishop Lee who dared to claim to have "defrocked" (a word usually referring to discipline for a moral lapse) a Northern Virginia priest who dared to resign from the Episcopal denomination, (but who refused to resign from the priesthood) to join with the Anglican Mission in America (under a foreign bishop...still a part of the Anglican Communion).

Christ is Lord of his (true & invisible) Church! Let judgement begin with His people.

>>>This is the same Bishop Lee who dared to claim to have "defrocked"....

Canon law is fairly specific as to who may defrock, or excommunicate who... Does a parish Bishop have that administrative authority?
