House of Bishops to decide if Pittsburgh bishop abandoned communion

Episcopal News Service take on the possible vote this Thursday in the House of Bishops

Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori said she will ask the House of Bishops to decide on September 18 whether Bishop Robert Duncan of Pittsburgh has abandoned the communion of the Episcopal Church. If the bishops, who are meeting September 16-19 in Salt Lake City, agree with the findings of a review panel that he has abandoned communion, their next move would be to depose Duncan. "I shall present to the House the matter of certification to me by the Title IV Review Committee that Bishop Robert W. Duncan has abandoned the Communion of this Church within the meaning of Canon IV.9," Jefferts Schori wrote in a September 12 letter to the bishops.
