From here:
Bishop Michael had two conversations with Archbishop Rowan who was well aware of the diocese’s situation regarding recent court decisions. Bishop Michael asked him if he would consider casting his eye around the communion for a possible interim appointment for St John’s, Shaughnessy. Archbishop Rowan said that he would and when he bid Bishop Michael farewell he told him that “thoughts were forming.” Since then, he has been very busy preparing for his African trip. Bishop Michael has followed up on the conversation with a letter.

Bishop Michael’s practice has been to find traditional clergy with a “high ecclesiology” or who wonder how they would feed their families without an Anglican Church of Canada parish, or who have personality conflicts with network leadership, or who have moved far enough to the left to not really know why it matters anymore, to fill these posts, in hopes of retaining lay folk who love their building or who are “inclusive” within parishes like St. John’s. But this sort of thing will never replicate what decades of hard Gospel work produced there. Sadly, there is someone out there willing to take the pulpit in which some of the giants of the modern evangelical church have preached, and become a political pawn for a self-described sophisticated pluralist and heretic, in a parish where countless folks have given time, talent and treasure to actually obey the Great Commission and make disciples of Jesus Christ.

Perhaps ++++Rowan himself would be the perfect interim.
I wonder what their average Sunday attendance is these days.
