10 THE LIVING CHURCH· OCTOBER 5. 2008 Out of Order The deposition of the Bishop of Pittsburgh [p. 6) marks one of the low points in the recent history of The Episcopal Church. The Rt. Rev. Robert Duncan was deposed at a meeting of the House of Bishops in Salt Lake City because, it was charged, he had "abandoned the communion of this church by an open renunciation ofits Doctrine, Discipline or Wor­ No inhibition, no trial ship." The deposition means Bishop Duncan is no longer able to function as an ordained person in The Episcopal Church. for Bishop Duncan of Whether or not one agrees that Bishop Duncan has abandoned the communion of this church, Episcopalians ought to be concerned with Pittsburgh the manner in which the Presiding Bishop and her advisers brought about this action. The Most Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori, Presiding Bishop, made it clear several months ago that she intended to depose Bishop Duncan, but nevertheless, when the strategy was carried out, it made an impact on many. Bishop Duncan has been a controversial figure in recent years. He has aligned himself with such organizations as the Anglican Communion Network and the Common Cause Partnership, both of which have been critical of much of what The Episcopal Church espouses. More recently, he has been instrumental in bringing the Diocese of Pittsburgh to the brink of leaving The Episcopal Church. Pittsburgh's diocesan conven­ tion on Oct. 4 is scheduled to vote for the second time on whether to leave the church and align with the Anglican Province of the Southern Cone (South America). As a result, Bishop Jefferts Schori decided to depose him. The Presiding Bishop is basing her action on Title IV,Canon 9 of the church's Constitution and Canons, titled "Of the Abandonment of the Communion of this Church by a Bishop." Section 2 of that canon outlines the procedure for deposing a bishop for abandonment: "The Presiding Bishop, with the consent of the three senior bishops having jurisdiction in this church, shall then inhibit the said bishop until such time as the House of Bishops shall investigate the matter and act thereon." But, that is not how the process unfolded. Bishop Jefferts Schori did ask the three senior bishops to concur, and they failed to do so. In addi­ tion, she did not inhibit Bishop Duncan from functioning as a bishop while the House of Bishops investigated the matter. There was no inhi­ bition, no trial. Instead, the Presiding Bishop asked her council of advice to convene an internal hearing the night before the business session. In addition, we would question whether Bishop Duncan has aban­ doned the communion of his church. In February, he wrote to the Pre­ siding Bishop and spelled out in some detail why he had not abandoned communion. He should have been taken at his word until action proves otherwise. Without stronger evidence than Bishop Duncan's diocese plans to take action on Oct. 4 to leave the church, it would seem the Pre­ siding Bishop's argument lacks evidence. As of this writing, Bishop Dun­ can has not left The Episcopal Church. When and if his diocesan convention takes that step would be the proper time to seek to depose him.

booked our wedding at the country club restaurant and we'd like to do a service in your church before it." "We're going to try and come to church on Easter Sunday and could meet with you afterwards if you're available." "Clergy Abuse" is a headline we usually associate with sexual mis­ conduct, yet recently I came across the term in regard to clergy who per­ form weddings for non-parishioners. Is "abuse" too strong a word? Are we merely whining when we are unnerved that our "the Lord be with you" is met with total silence? Are we being snobs when we complain that a couple ( and sometimes a nave full of guests) doesn't have the Lord's Prayer memorized? It is becoming alarmingly common to have a church full of people who have absolutely no idea of our most basic vocabulary. The truth is that this is a clash of two different cultures, and we do not like to admit that ours is shrinking and theirs is growing exponentially. Fighting against the flow of such a powerfully rising tide is exhausting. What is it that we fear about non­ member weddings? Perhaps we fear the couple is neglecting to include God in their marriage - despite our philosophy of never judging another person's faith. Maybe we fear being accused of offering Bonhoeffer's "cheap grace" even though we know that grace is always free. Perhaps we fear that they are only drawn to us by the beauty of our building but not by our devotion to following Christ, even though we realize that beauty has always been one of our most powerful tools in evangelizing. One factor I know we are right to fear is bad taste. As Episcopalians we By Shane Scott-Hamblen have a certain repugnance for sappy, emotion-driven, pseudo-liturgies.
