http://www.episcopalchurch.org/79901_95705_ENG_HTM.htm[Episcopal News Service] Reaction to news from the March 7-12 meeting of the Episcopal Church's House of Bishops centered on the bishops' consent to the depositions of Bishop John-David Schofield of San Joaquin and William Cox, retired bishop suffragan of Maryland, as well as the news that New Hampshire Bishop Gene Robinson would not be allowed to participate in an official capacity at the upcoming Lambeth Conference gathering of Anglican Communion bishops.
In a statement about their consents, the bishops pledged their support to the members of the Diocese of San Joaquin and said they would continue to seek reconciliation with the people whom both Schofield and Cox served.
