A couple things about Bishops
Today the Special Commission reported to the House of Bishops, gathered at the Kanuga Conference Center. The news item doesn't give us any specifics about the work of the Commission thus far.
Meanwhile, the Diocese of Tennessee, in which I was confirmed, is voting today on a bishop coadjutor. For a while it looked as though the clergy were converging on Fr Winston Charles of Christ Church, Raleigh, who is viewed as a moderate-progressive, while the laity were converging on Canon Neil Michell of the Diocese of Dallas, who is affiliated with the Network. But the last few ballots have seen both orders migrating toward Canon James Magness of the Diocese of Kentucky, though there is still a majority for Canon Michell among the lay delegates.
See Guanilo's Island for these characerizations of the nominees. Votes are being posted here; there have been twelve ballots so far. The diocesan website provides a good deal of information about the nominees.
