Bishop Little of the Dio of Northern Indiana Also Dose Not Give Consent:

Apr 20, 2009 10:28

Dear brothers and sisters,

Many of you have asked me about the election of the Rev. Kevin Thew Forrester as Bishop of Northern Michigan, and in particular about whether I gave consent for his consecration. I did not; nor did the Standing Committee, which had its own in-depth conversation on this important matter.

As someone from the outside, this situation is fascinating, and heartbreaking. All parties (at least the ones you've posted) seem to have really thought their decisions through carefully. I'm thinking of and praying for all parties involved.

It is like watching a slow moving train wreck.
Prayers are needed all over the place.
What I think needs to be realy looked at is the next step. What exactly do we do with and for the Dio of Northern MI?

There is a process that they can ask for wherein the House of Bishops names a Bishop for them out of a list they present.
