The leadership of The Episcopal Church (tm) throws a bloody fit at the mere mention of any sort of central ecclesiastical authority in the Anglican Communion, a-la the Vatican, which could discipline The Episcopal Church (tm) for their "prophetic gift." But then, here is our good Presiding Bishop running around acting like an Episcopal Pope:
Last week, she attempted to evict the legally elected Standing Committee of a Diocese she does not like, without any authority given her in the Canons and Constitution of our Church to make such a "finding." (They responded.)
And now, she seems to be backing a putsch within The Daughters of the King, a women's group that has Episcopalians, Lutherans, Anglicans, and Roman Catholics as members, to restrict membership to only Episcopalians. Note that The Daughters of the King is not, as far as I know, an official organ of the Episcopal Church(tm). Not does it appear to have ever come out in favor of The Episcopal Church's (tm) "prophetic gift" or prevented other Anglicans from being members. (The latter may be the reason for her interest in a takeover.)
Most of those in DOK I know have been very apolitical when it comes to the Current Unpleasantness (tm); they tend to focus on prayer and service instead. I think, unfortunately for +Katherine, that may well change. It's not nice to piss off a lot of committed women.
