The Living Church and other websites and blogs are reporting some great news, the Episcopal Diocese of San Joaquin will be holding an election for a new provisional bishop. This bishop is of course to replace the currently inhibited and soon to be deposed former Episcopal bishop Schofield of San Joaquin.

Alternative oversight?
There is some new discussion coming out about the idea of alternative oversight for bishops in the Episcopal Church who are not happy with the leadership of Bishop Schori. A link to a post about this on the blog Preludium is here:

I really don't think this is a good idea. This whole idea just seems to be another way to undermine TEC. This opens the door for people to separate themselves and not participate in the life of the wider church because it is 'tainted'.
I am thinking more and more that it is time for everyone to bite the bullet and make the hard decisions. Let's get it over with I say and move on. Until we do it almost seems like we're prolonging the painful reality.
I'm all for staying in conversation and staying at the table but at this moment I'm thinking it's not getting us anywhere.
Of course I'm not settled, I may very well waffle and change course.

Uganda threatens to take it's ball and go home
Uganda has decided to not go to Lambeth, now they are threatening to withdraw from the Anglican Communion.
As un-Christian as this is, I know I'm not the first to say, don't let the door hit ya....

I wonder what all those congregations who aligned themselves with the Church of Uganda are thinking now? Especially since they originally split from TEC to go with Uganda in their grand (and delusional) hopes that they would be safe as a member of the Anglican Communion while TEC would be kicked out.
