An Ecclesiastical Trial Update from the Standing Committee of Pennsylvania

Posted by Kendall Harmon

The Standing Committee of the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania has received the news of Bishop Bennison’s conviction and shares in the grief of the victims and all whose lives have been impacted by these events. Our prayers and thoughts are with those affected by the trial and now the verdict. We pray for healing for all. The canonical process is long and far from over. The Standing Committee will be continuing its responsibilities as the Ecclesiastical Authority in the diocese until the matter is finally concluded.

Read it all.

I am pleased with the result. Bennison’s iron glove appears to be restrained, but is the DioPa going to continue business as usual and paint a smiley face on officially sanctioned heresy? Things are a shambles now. To my mind the diocese, like Humpty Dumpty, can’t be pieced back together again just by removing a provocateur.
