I know nothing of Bishop Bartlett, with whom this agreement was made, so I can't say further. If he were a bishop like, say, John-David Schofield, I'd drop the matter in a flash. If he were another Spong, I'd be very concerned.

It is obvious from your previous postings that you don't much care for the bishop-elect...but take a look at the other choices; personally, I would rather have a religious progressive in the spirit of Christ than a "don't give a damn if you think the homosexual or fornication act is sin" lesbian, gay or libertine.

"don't much care for the bishop-elect"

I think you're reading way too much into this.
