Some appropriate descriptives would be “putsch” and “coup de etat.”
This sets a dangerous precednt in The United States of America. Acctually, it doesn’t “set a dangerous precedent” but, in fact, is a continuation of an attack on the bishop,the clergy and the laity of the Diocese of South Carolina that was started by Schori and other revisionist-progressives in The Episcopal Church.
What happens to diocese of ECUSA can also happen to other institutions, including government, in the USA.
This cannot be separated from the secular divide that is damaging our country in both culture and in politics.
