I haven't been an Episcopalian in over 20 years so I'm not directly affected, but I wonder why this sort of thing isn't done more often, at the parish or even diocesan level.

It seems like a win-win: the American parish/diocese gets a good bishop, and in return can contribute financial support to the bishop's third-world home diocese which wouldn't be available otherwise.

It's nearly impossible to get the building from the Diocese.

Meanwhile, perfectly orthodox, US-based dioceses go begging for funds and are now competed against.

Not really a good solution, all in all.

In Christ,
