"We voted on a number of note worthy things[at General Convention 2012]," Jefferts Schori said. "We passed a trial right for blessing same-sex unions. It will be used on a provisional basis in some dioceses, with the Bishop's permission only, for three years, and then we will consider something like that again."
Read it all.

She believes that she’s in Holy Orders, and like some of her predecessors she carries a metropolitan’s staff, not a bishop’s crozier. For all I know, she told the reporter that she’s an archbishop. Archbishop Duncan is an archbishop, and he is certainly in Holy Orders. That must bother her. She also is quoted saying that the SSB ritual that passed GC is a trial rite, but it’s of course only provisional since GC didn’t have the votes to pass it as a trial rite. That reminds me of how the SCOTUS declared that Obamacare is a tax, to the consternation of the Obama administration. I don’t know if this is prevarication on her part, or inaccurate reporting. I would suspect the former. July 15, 1:28 pm | [comment link] |

“and then we will consider something like that again.” Yes, I think a provisional rite needs a label and the PB volunteers a good one: “something like that.” July 15, 5:59 pm | [comment link] |

One despairs of the level of general education when one reads articles like this.
It is not “note worthy,” but “noteworthy.” It is not “trial right,” but “trial rite.”
Given that the writer does not seem competent in how to use the English language, why should one be surprised to discover an incorrect identification of KJS as an “archbishop”? TEC has no archbishops.
