Cry "Havoc!" and let slip the dogs of war
According to The Living Church the first major battle in the "divorce" proceedings between liberals and traditionalists within the Episcopal Church may begin soon, and there is no hint that matters will be handled "amicably". As that magazine reports:
The bishops of California, Los Angeles and San Diego are preparing presentment charges which may be filed as early as next week against the Rt. Rev. John-David Schofield, Bishop of San Joaquin, according to three persons who attended a diocesan meeting July 8 at St. John’s Church, Los Angeles.
The announcement was made by the Bishop of Los Angeles, the Rt. Rev. J. John Bruno, according to the three, who requested anonymity because they are not authorized to speak on behalf of the bishop.
“There is a [presentment] in the works,” said one of those who attended the meeting. “I got the sense that it was going to happen very soon. [They said] this will cost a lot of money, but they are prepared to pay the price. Property was the main thing.”

This saddens me immensely. I first met +John-David from back when he was the Rev. Schofield in Inverness, CA. He is a good man!
These days I see him but once a year at camp (though not this year); his poor health is an ongoing concern. Please pray for him.
Indeed, the good bishop of San Joaquin has been a lion in defense of the faith, a true pastor, and a friend to my own diocese in these difficult times. May God grant him many more years.
