Breakaway bishop to appeal Episcopal ruling


AP Story

Attorneys for a Fresno bishop deposed by the Episcopal Church say they plan to appeal a judge's ruling recognizing another bishop as the head of the Diocese of San Joaquin.

Episcopal leaders ousted John-David Schofield last year, after he led his conservative congregation to secede from the national church in 2007.

erry Lamb, who was previously bishop of the Diocese of Northern California, was later elected to head the diocese.

Earlier this month, a Fresno County Superior Court judge ruled that Lamb officially heads the diocese.

Attorneys plan to file their appeal later this month.

A trial is set to begin early next year to decide who controls the diocese's properties
