FruitlessMeeting The fact that the meeting of 11 bishops in New York City was unable to produce any kind of agreement , consensus, or compro­ mise should not be a surprise to anyone who has followed closely the chain of events that has led to the current stalemate in The Epis­ copal Church. If the idea of alternate episcopal oversight was indeed a primary topic as has been reported, it should be obvious by now that the Presiding Bishop and his successor want no part of it. Those who held out hope that the New York meeting might lead to some sort of consensus may have based their thoughts on the pres­ It shouldbe obvious ence of the Presiding Bishop. The Most Rev. Frank Griswold has long espoused reconciliation and conversation, and if he wasn 't able to bring about progress in a setting like that, chances look slim that by nowthat the Presiding some other agreement might be achieved. Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori , the Presiding Bishop-elect , tried to put a positive spin on the Bishopand his successor outcome by saying there might be a second meeting, but when one considers the many attempts at reconciliation made in recent years , want no part of alternate it would seem that an additional meeting involving the New York participants would be equally fruitless . episcopaloversight. As soon as the New York meeting ended, eyes turned toward Camp Allen, the conference center in the Diocese of Texas, for a sec­ ond and larger meeting of bishops [TLC, Sept. 3). Those looking to the Camp Allen consultation as providing guidance on how the church should proceed in the current environment should remem­ ber that participants were restricted to those who agree with the rec­ ommendations of the Windsor Report. Like-minded bishops probably concentrated more on the future of their dioceses than on trying to achieve some sort of concord with their counterparts who don't agree with them . For the most part , they agreed to attend the Texas consultation because they want to continue to be Anglicans . Dialogue, conversation, discussion, whatever one wants to call it, can be helpful in addressing differences that occur in the church . Unfortunately, in this case , the two sides seem to be too far apart to be able to achieve a lasting reconciliation .

Departurein Plano We note with sadness the departure of Christ Church, Plano, Texas, from The Episcopal Church. It seems as though there is at least one church leaving each week, but the Plano withdrawal is unusual. First, that parish has achieved the largest average Sunday attendance in The Episcopal Church - a remarkable achievement for a church that did not exist 25 years ago [TLC, July 23]. It is also noteworthy that the congregation as a whole agrees with its bishop on the important issues facing The Episcopal Church but still felt called to another part of the Anglican Communion. If there is any­ thing positive to be found in this situation , it is the news that Christ Church has arranged to purchase its property from the Diocese of Dallas. Rather than get involved in litigation to keep its recently con­ structed edifice, the 2,000 or so members of that congregation will be able to continue to worship in their own church . They will be missed.

Just as the word "episcopal" was deliberately used to make clear the role of bishops in the church, so too was the word "protes­ tant" included to underscore our commitment to a non­ papist relationship between the episcopate and the congregations it serves. While the editorial justly rebukes those who circumvent proper episcopal authority, it ignores the actions of those heavy-handed bishops who have likewise forsaken our ecclesial identity.
