And Frank Griswold must take the credit for the decline and fall of a once proud church. He has single-handedly achieved what no one else could possibly do - destroy a church in one generation.

I disagree with this conclusion. ECUSA was well into its decline long before Griswold (and Browning, whom I assume is Griswold's predecessor); IMHO it was already well into its "gadarene slide into the abyss" before I left 23+ years ago. IMHO -- and I pray for the faithful remnant, including some members of this list.

Do you know that without even asking their permission he injected the handsome young boyfriend of the Bishop of Massachusetts (Tom Shaw) into the bishop spouses' group, even unashamedly using the word "companion"?

Goodness -- my Episcopalian Goddaughter is subject to this bishop. I fear for her soul's safety!

Okay, I know the article is mostly unsubstantiated gossip, but I am very interested in this:

Witness what happened with the former Bishop of New York Richard Grein. In his case 39 charges mysteriously disappeared.

Former Bishop Grein managed to ruin what turned out to be my last Maundy Thurday service in my old church. Normally we'd have had Bishop Taylor speaking, but for some reason, that year we got Grein. For some reason he felt compelled to rip into "The Passion of the Christ", which had just been released, and then proceeded to condemn "fundamentalism" and call for a more "nuanced" view of Scripture. Yes, he used the word "nuance". Kerry had already used that word so many times that Grein tripped my buzzword alarm.

So I'm quite curious as to the nature of these 39 charges, if they exist. Anyone have a clue?
