Charges against San Joaquin should be filed any day now:
I lament the actions of the Bishop and Convention of the Diocese of San Joaquin to repudiate their membership in the Episcopal Church. While it is clear that this process is not yet complete, the fact that the Bishop and Convention have voted to remove the accession clause required by the Constitution and Canons of the Episcopal Church would seem to imply that there is no intent to terminate this process before it reaches its full conclusion. Our task as the Episcopal Church is God’s mission of reconciling the world, and actions such as this distract and detract from that mission.
I deeply lament the pain, confusion, and suffering visited on loyal members of the Episcopal Church within the Diocese of San Joaquin, and want them to know of my prayers and the prayers of many, many others.
I continue to consult with others involved in responding to this extracanonical action.
Kate deeply laments "the pain, confusion, and suffering visited on loyal members of the Episcopal Church within the Diocese of San Joaquin" but couldn't care less about "the pain, confusion, and suffering visited on loyal members of the Episcopal Church" who were appalled when Robbie got a pointy hat. Typical. And one more reason why this split can't happen soon enough.
