“The amendments (to the Constitution of the Diocese of Fort Worth) also add the Bishop as a member of the Board, he was not previously. Again you can see a bunch of prior planning to try and wrestle the property of TEC away from the TEC and into local control.” – ‘Est Anima Legis’ – If this is true, then surely the secession of the Diocese of Fort Worth from the family of TEC was already being planned at the time of agreement to this amendment.

Malcom,

I’ve only just caught up with your last post on this thread. When you speak of Wayne & Schuster as being now resident in ‘a better country – an heavenly’, are you speaking of that God-zone the United States of America, or Paradise? Curious.

Sadly, Wayne and Shuster have, as the Orangemen say, “Passed to the Great Reward”.
