Those they can't drive out, they will put out. Nowadays, it appears this is what happens in The Episcopal Church (tm) when clergy dare vocally question the leadership's "prophetic gift". It failed this time, but I'm sure the Presiding Bishop will keep after Bishop Duncan - he is too big a threat to the "prophetic gift" to be ignored. And the "prophetic gift", with all of the "theology" that goes along with it, must be advanced at all costs.
Bishop Iker in Fort Worth, another of the most vocal dissidents, is being set up as the next one purged. Read the Presiding Bishop's whole letter, and Greg's commentary after. Very telling.

Some of the commenters over at Stand Firm have been implying that KJS's correspondence has been written by attorneys. I disagree, I think her letters show she hangs around lawyers too much.
Irregardless, it looks as though the purging of the Episcopal Church has begun. I halfway suspect that KJS is thinking about pity right now:
"It's a pity we can't build gulags for those people....."
