Reading Between The Mitre.

Many in the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana have been wondering - on which side of the Current Unpleasantness in The Episcopal Church (tm) will our good Bishop, the Rt. Rev. Charles Jenkins, finally stand? Maybe this is some indication:

"The Rt. Rev’d Michael G. Smith, Bishop of North Dakota, has accepted the invitation of Bishop Jenkins to assist the clergy and laity of the Diocese of Louisiana in their ministry by serving for a time as assisting bishop."

Bishop Smith seems to be a "Windsor Bishop" who signed onto at least one "Camp Allen" declaration. And unlike our Presiding Bishop, he's not apparently a fan of this guy and his theology (if you can call it that).

Months ago, this would have been real news. But with the (Maybe, Maybe Not) Final Showdown about to take place just downriver from me in New Orleans, in a few days we will know in which direction all of the pointy hats are truly pointing.

Until then, my fellow Anglicans / Episcopalians: PRAY.
