There has been some lively and lengthy discussion of this at Titusonenine

Here is a sample from "Scott+"

"I was thinking along the line of the US Congress. When it first meets it determines that the proper people are to be seated. Any group of Bishops sitting in college would, I think, have the same right. I would be fitting that she is invited and required to show why she should be seated.

Arius appeared in Nicaea. Why should KJS not appear? If she does appear than the college of Bishops can pronounce anathemas. Father Matt has written of the heresies that she would appear guiltily. I would be fitting that these are the reasons that they do not seat her.

Her coming to the meeting and attempting to be seated would give the college of Bishops authority to review her theology. This would defeat any claim of lack of jurisdiction that you know would come from ECUSA. Showing up and asking to be seated would make her subject to the discipline of the body that she seeks to be a member."
