Bravo!

Dear Katharine,
Here I stand. I can do no other. I will neither compromise the Faith once delivered to the saints, nor will I abandon the sheep who elected me to protect them.
Pax et bonum in Christ Jesus our Lord,
+Bob Pittsburgh
(Update: Delightfully, the Episcopal Life [ENS] story including this letter is entitled "Pittsburgh bishop declines Presiding Bishop's offer of reconciliation"!)
UPDATE: PITTSBURGH passed the first reading of their amendment to remove their "accession clause" to TEC's constitution today by an overwhelming margin! From Stand Firm:
Lay total 177
for 118
against 58
abstain 1
That is almost 67% in favor.
Clergy total 133
for 109
against 24
abstain 0
That is almost 82% in favor!

Said clearly and succinctly. Abe Lincoln would be proud!
My hats off, as it were. I long for such conviction to become commonplace.
Yes and amen! Looking forward to reading and hearing the words of your own bishop at Ft. Worth's diocesan convention soon. Praying for ya'll!
