This is exactly what the Archbishop of Washington, seated at the National Cathedral did in Accotink, MD, creating a dreadful situation: She insisted on presiding in the Church. When the local priest refused, she had him all but (what we Catholics would call) defrocked. Then another bishop elsewhere stepped in, and last I heard, they were suing each other over who owns the parish. A terrible, terrible situation.

ah yes - Christ Church Accokeek...a sad situation and not made any better by the new heresiarch who replaced the old one in the diocese of Washington (i.e. DC and the MD 'burbs). The clergy in question, along with a good portion of the parish moved over to one of the 'Continuing Anglican' denominations (we hope to bring these back into whatever the new Anglican Province turns out to be, since the 'Continuum' denominations consist of small groups of conservative Anglicans who were simply forced out by the heretics over the last 25 years or so.
