InconsistentTreatment The unusual occurrence of the House of Bishops voting to depose two of its members [TLC,April 6] has pointed out some inconsistencies in the application of canon law. Following the decision by the bishops to depose bishops John­ David Schofield and William Cox, questions arose as to whether canon law was followed correctly. At issue is whether there were enough bishops present to be able to take action against these two bishops. The matter is complicated. Title IV, Canon 9, Section 2 of the Constitution and Canons of The Episcopal Church states that a vote to depose requires "a majority of the whole number of bishops entitled to vote." Because only 131 bishops registered for the gathering held last month at Camp Allen in the Diocese of Texas, and at least Thecasual treatment of canonlaw in the 15 of them left before the vote to depose took place, and because there were 294 bishops enti­ depOSitiOnSdoes not bode well for thefuture. tied to vote on March 12 when the decision was made, it would appear that the depositions are invalid, for those in attendance were only about a third of the number of those entitled to vote. Since the voting took place, several bishops have said that those present on March 12 were told that canonical procedures were being followed, and that there were no challenges to the procedure that was used. Later, David Booth Beers, the Presiding Bishop's chancellor, said the vote conformed to the canons . He said the canon meant a majority of those bishops present rather than all of the bishops eligible to vote. We are concerned about an apparent inconsistency by some church leaders in dealing with canons. When the Diocese of South Carolina sought consents for its bishop-elect to be consecrated, the canons were applied with great detail when it was decided procedures had not been followed correctly. The same diligence to canon law should have been given to decisions as important as these depositions. The casual treatment of canon law in the depositions does not bode well for the future. With the possibility of similar action to be taken against more bish­ ops and other clergy, it is necessary that all involved have a clear understand­ ing of how the Title IV canons are to be applied. If the canons are unclear in their language, then someone needs to take the lead in getting them clarified, for there is much at stake.

10 THE LIVIN G Cl IURC I I · APRIi. 13. 2008 READER'SVIEWPOINT

Anglicansor Baptists?We'll Have to Decide By Richard H. Schmidt The author served as a missionary and professor of theology in Nigeria in 2002. Following is his response to a Nigerian friend who recently wrote him to ask what is going on in The Episcopal Church.

Dear Emmanuel: Sometimes I think only God knows what's going on h e re. Sometimes I think no one knows. Maybe even God wonders what's happening. I think we could be on the verge of a realignment among Anglicans. If that happens, the good thing is that most people won't notice . We'll probably retain most of our h e ritage - t he scriptures, liturgy, creeds, the three-fold ordained ministry, and most of the trappings lik e music and vestments. People will still say their prayers, feed the hungry, and give their lives to Christ. The only major change a realignment would bring is that we might no longer have bishops. The apostoli c succession c ould be retained in a formal way - the right hands could be put on pe ople's heads. But that would be the histori c episcopate in form only; th o se people wouldn't be bishops in the historic sense. Traditionally, a bishop's role has been to exercise authorit y in the chur ch. But if a diocese can abandon its primate and choose another one at will, and if a parish can aban­ don its diocesan bishop and choose another one at will, what kind of authorit y can that primate and bishop be said to exercise? Not much, as I see it. In that kind of church, we would have no authority beyond our own opinions. That's where we may be heading. This is a characteristically American thing. Americans don't like authority. Our nation was born out of resistance to authority, and it is still very much a part of our national mindset. So if an Ameri c an diocese leaves or tries to le a ve the church and join or found a new one, it is beha v ing as Americans typically do. When you told me, "I don't agree with Peter Akinola, but he is our leader and we will of cour s e follow him," y ou expressed a characteristically Nigerian submission to authority. Most Americans would never say that about their bishop or Presiding Bishop (or their president). If we agree, we follow; if we don't, we resist or leave. That makes me wonder how long our American Anglicans who have signed on with the Anglican Church in Rwanda, Nigeria, the Southern Cone, and elsewhere will maintain that affiliation. Once the precedent for choosing one's own "authority" has been set, what is to keep one from choosing another authority when the next archbishop does or says som e ­ thing with which we don't agree ? In a far - fetched and admittedly ludicrous scenario, I could see a diocese or congre ga­ tion here someday saying, "Two years ago we chose the Bishop of Montana for our authority, and this past year we were with the Archbishop of Wales. This year let's sign on with the primate of Mexico." That, of course, is pushing the thing much farther down the road than anyone now wants to push it, but it's the direction in which we're moving. In his writings against the Donatists, Augustine developed the rationale for cath o lic order. The Donatists refused to receive the sacrament from the hands of bishops who had compromised themselves under persecution. Augustine said the validity of th e sacrament depends not on the character of the celebrant, but on the grace of Jesus Christ. He acknowledged that the church, at least in this world, would c on t ain unw o rth y and misguided people, including some of its leaders. But that was not cause, he said, to depart and sign on with a group that was more doctrinally and morally pure. American Angli c ans are at that place again. We are at a fork in the road. We can either remain Anglican, which would include retaining catholic church order, or we can adopt a congregational polity and become (Continued on next page)
