FT. WORTH: All Saints' Sues Bishop Jack Iker
FT. WORTH: All Saints' Sues Bishop Jack Iker
The Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth receives fourth lawsuit
Oct. 18, 2010
With three suits pending in two Texas counties, members of the minority that chose to stay in The Episcopal Church (TEC) two years ago have launched another assault on much the same grounds as the first three. Today All Saints' Episcopal Church on Crestline Road in Fort Worth has sued Bishop Jack Iker personally, in federal court.
There can no longer be any doubt that this litigation is intended to harrass, intimidate, bankrupt, and divert the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth, its Corporation, and its leadership - particularly Bishop Iker - from carrying out the mission of the Church.
Ironically, only this weekend Bishop Iker made several comments in jest to a gathering of clergy and laity of the Church of England in London, saying that he had "not checked the Internet today" to see whether he had been sued again.
