HarshTreatment The action taken by the Bishop of Connecticut against the six rectors in his diocese [TLC, April 24] seems particularly harsh and unnecessary. Threatening to inhibit and eventually depose the six priests because they have "abandoned" communion, the Rt. Rev. Andrew D. Smith and the dioce­ san standing committee charged them according to Title IV, Canon 10 of the Constitution and Canons of the Episcopal Church. The six had requested Delegated Pastoral Oversight (DEPO) because of their differences with Bishop Smith, who had supported the consecration of the Rev. Canon V. Gene Robinson as Bishop Coadjutor of New Hampshire. Bishop Smith said he would not agree to alternative episcopal oversight until those congrega­ tions pay their voluntary parochial assessments at a level the bishop deemed satisfactory. Bishop Smith's strategy would seem to contradict the spirit of the Wind­ sor Report, issued last fall by the Lambeth Committee on Communion. His offer to provide episcopal oversight also falls short of what the primates seemed to have in mind. They used the word "adequate" to describe the pas­ Accusing the toral ministry of a bishop from another diocese who would offer sacra­ mental ministry when a congregation is at odds with its bishop. As it is envisioned by the House of Bishops, the DEPO plan has not been deemed "Connecticut Six" as adequate by dissenting congregations. The "Panel of Reference" pro­ posed by the primates to provide adequate episcopal oversight in congre­ of "abandoning" gations like the six in Connecticut would seem to be a reasonable way to address the situation, but there is no indication that Connecticut might try communion would to use it. In addition, Bishop Smith is using a canon to address a dispute for which it was not intended. Title IV, Canon 10 was adopted to address the matter of seem to be a stretch. how to deal with clergy who leave the Episcopal Church for another denomination. It was applied most frequently to those priests who wanted to become Roman Catholic. Accusing the "Connecticut Six" of "abandoning" communion would seem to be a stretch. True, those churches have directed their assessments away from the diocesan program budget, but the charges against the priests still seem inappropriate for what they've done. At a time when church leaders of all sorts are stressing the need for rec­ onciliation, the disciplinary strategy in Connecticut, and previous struggles in Los Angeles and Lexington, sends a distressing message to the rest of the Church that dissent within the Episcopal Church is not permissible. Bishop Smith and others who are taking similar action against clergy should wait for the outcome of the next General Convention. By then we all may have a better idea how to proceed. CPC'sAdmirable Service The yearly observance of Church Periodical Club (CPC) Sunday takes place May 1, enabling the Church to recognize and celebrate a venerable and effective ministry. The CPC, operating in the Episcopal Church for more than a century , awards grants for reading materials, computer soft­ ware, and videotapes throughout the Anglican Communion while operating on a limited budget. During the past year, CPC has distributed a wide variety of grants, includ­ ing several to Sudanese seminarians, to a jail chaplaincy in Pennsylvania for religious reference books, to deans of the 11 Episcopal theological semi­ naries for disbursement, and to the Anglican Frontier Missions, for materi­ als to train leaders who will teach those who have never heard the gospel. CPC's efforts are worthy of our support and prayers.
