Wis. Seminary Draws Ire for Inviting Episcopal Presiding Bishop to Preach

From Christian Post-

An Anglican (sic) seminary's invitation to Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori, who has been accused of making statements outside of the church's traditional understanding of Christ, has drawn ire and led to at least one resignation.

Dean Edward L. Salmon, Jr., of the Nashotah House's historic seminary chapel in Nashotah, Wis., invited Schori for the first time to preach on May 1. And what followed was uproar.

Bishop Jack Iker of the Diocese of Ft. Worth resigned as a trustee from the Nashotah House Board after 21 years of service, according to Virtue Online, which features the latest events inside the U.S. Episcopal Church and the global Anglican Communion.

Iker referred to lawsuits initiated by Schori against the diocese, and notified the board that he "could not be associated with an institution that honors her."

Couldn't you provide us a link to this story that's not a ridiculously biased Christianist rag? I read the "Christian Post" [sic] and felt myself becoming LESS informed w/ every word!

The only other coverage I could find was David Virtue. So this will have to do biased as it may be.
