CHUCKLES?

from Midwest Conservative Journal by The Editor

Intelligent people would have figured it out by now:

There was a wide range of reactions within the Diocese of Pennsylvania to the decision of the Court of Review: shock, surprise, anger, confusion, hurt, approval and support. To date the Standing Committee has noted that negative reactions to the decision and to Bishop Bennison’s resuming his office have far outnumbered the positive.

It is the Standing Committee’s assessment that Bishop Bennison does not have the trust of the clergy and lay leaders necessary for him to be an effective pastor and leader of the Diocese of Pennsylvania, nor that he can regain or rebuild the trust that he has lost or broken. Given the fact that the Court of Review has taken the position that its hands are tied, and the untenable situation into which the Diocese of Pennsylvania is placed with Bishop Bennison resuming his role as Diocesan, we need your support and assistance in constructing a way to go forward in this diocese and to secure Bishop Bennison’s retirement or resignation.
