Did Mrs. Schori bring him to Nevada?

Yes, apparently.

Scum.

Actually it is mis-leading to imply she brought him to Nevada - what I read yesterday appeared to indicate he left MO, went there and then later applied, once in the Episcopal diocese - of which she was, yes, bishop at that time.

He says he didn’t tell Schori herself about this but c’mon. That’s a tiny diocese. It would be hard to believe that if he told others in the diocese about his perverted past, it wouldn’t get to her. She was the bishop. So, unless he didn’t really disclose, this is pretty damning to her and her administration.

#5 Tea Time,

The Kansas City paper quotes him as saying he told the Bishop (KJS) directly, and that she thought it wouldn’t be a problem, but she’d have to check.

I’m no fan of ++KJS, and would want to give anyone the benefit of the doubt (innocent until proven guilty), but there is a simple way of making this all go away for her.  Deny the allegation and simply prove that she didn’t know.  The fact that no statement is issued to that effect is quite telling.

Eastern Anglican, Thanks, you’re right. I reread it. Apparently, he told Schori about one of his misdeeds but not all of them. The way it was written was confusing. It sounds as if he believed TEC wouldn’t get hepped up over “one strike” so he told her about one “inappropriate” incident.

That doesn’t excuse her, of course. He should have been thoroughly investigated and the RCs contacted, especially since he confessed to one incident. Of course, since at least some people knew he was planning to continue in ministry, the RCC should have warned TEC. But if that church can’t even warn its own bishops and parishes, fat chance they’d concern themselves with another church.

And yet, we are going to let them marry and cheer them on in the process. How can we be so stupid? And why are we losing the war given this sort of evidence?  Larry

The trouble with TEC is that it can’t even police its own offenders. Witness the newly “restored” Bishop of Pennsylvania.

I have yet to see an incident like this where there was only one transgression.  To know of one admitted event and not to suspect others and research it, seems to me to be a conscious and purposeful effort to remain ignorant—plausible deniability. 

Larry, we are losing the war because we are not fighting it the way it is being brought.  It is political, the Truth and facts, and facts such as these, are irrelevant and ineffectual because they are trumped by the political idea of justice which is imposed by a vote of the majority.  TEC’s theology is by votes and not by evidence of the path that it is on leads to ruin.

9.  Dan, it’s not that TEC can’t police its own offenders;  they refuse to police them!

Larry,

After reading your post #8, I must ask if you feel it appropriate to condem all homosexuals as a result of one man’s gross misconduct?

This could have rather broad reaching consequences well beyond what you intend?  Hopefully I misunderstood your point.
