From Modesto-Retired Anglican Bishop John-David Schofield, who led the Diocese of San Joaquin to leave the U.S. Episcopal Church over Scripture interpretation, died Tuesday morning. He was 75.
Bishop Eric Menees, who was flying home from Rome on Wednesday, said on the diocese’s website that the Rev. Schofield died peacefully at his northwest Fresno home, sitting in his favorite green chair.
“My heart is heavy because I am selfish and desire my brother by my side,” Menees said, “but also joyful because I know that at this moment he has heard the words of our Lord: ‘Well done, good and faithful servant.’”
Funeral arrangements are pending. There will be an open-casket viewing and vigil from 7:45 a.m. Friday through 8 a.m. Saturday at St. James Cathedral, 4147 E. Dakota Ave. in Fresno.
