My Dear Brothers,
I need to say how totally disappointed and disgusted I am that not one of you has even acknowledged my post, let alone responded to it.
I have no illusions that the outcome of the despicable vote to depose John-David [Schofield] and William [Cox] will be reversed, but AT LEAST we might want to obey the canons.
I have moved my concern to the Bishop-lawyers of our House, and I have a small degree of hope that they might be willing to take on an issue that you are obviously not willing to confront.
I recall that another person of influence washed his hands of a difficult matter on this same weekend some years ago.
Warmest best wishes for a glorious Easter,
The Right Rev. John W. Howe
Episcopal Bishop of Central Florida
1017 East Robinson Street
Orlando, Florida 32801
