About DCNY

This blog was started in 2005 in response to Bishop Skip Adams' campaign to do ecclesiatical harm to Father David Bollinger. At the time, the diocese had spent thousands of dollars on a public relations consultant to advise them, particularly the bishop, as they sought to defrock Fr. Bollinger. I started this blog in support of Fr. Bollinger in what I saw as the unjust actions of the Diocese of Central New York. My view was vindicated by the dismissal by the Ecclesiastical Court of the DCNY of all charges against Fr. Bollinger and his reinstatement as a priest in good standing in the Episcopal Church.

Before I started this, Bp. Skip had shut down diomail, a diocesan listserv, because he didn't like some of the viewpoints posted there. The DCNY blog started out as an alternative to the p.r. of the DCNY, and has since widened to include being an alternative to the p.r. of pecusa and the Anglican Communion. As can be seen by a perusal of the monthly Episcopal Life, the official news sources like the Episcopal News Service (ENS) are highly biased. What they publish and print is more on the order of public relations than objective news reporting.

The blog DCNY is now an alternative source for news, particularly for those in the DCNY, but also for our other readers. DCNY seeks to be a counterbalance to the biased coverage offered by ENS and the Anglican Communion News Service. I have found that the readership of this blog, while not approaching the level of Stand Firm or TitusOneNine, is an interesting bunch. Top pecusa liberals bop in here at least on occasion as evidenced by the comments they leave. In the last week a Common Cause Partnership bishop was here as well. As we embark on our next thousand blog entries, we'll keep offering up top stories from many news sources as the realignment of North American Anglicanism continues.
