Why Schori is given limited access in Albany
The article posted next demonstrates why Bishop Love is right in the way that he has arranged the mandatory visitation of the presiding bishop to the Diocese of Albany. The lack of candor and honesty about what is going on in pecusa is one reason to limit her access to a Christian audience. Her outright heresies are the strongest reason to do so. She has replaced the gospel with the Millennium Development Goals of the United Nations. People don't need the church in order to do good works; people need Jesus Christ as Savior. Good works follow as people become disciples. This is the gospel, and it is not the gospel that Schori teaches or promotes.

She has a name, and it is not Schori. It is Jefferts Schori.
Respect for human dignity of any individual includes using the name by which they call themselves.
You can disagree with her. You can disagree with her vehemently. But in knowingly using the incorrect Schori you are violating the second commandment and engaging in schoolyard behavior.
Where is that written, John? I have seen her so identified in news articles, so I see no reason to change it here, nor do I see any violation of any commandment. It is also not schoolyard behavior to identify a person by their last name.
I did a short google search and came up with this. Note paragraph 4:
From the Associated Press – July 9, 2009
ANAHEIM, CA – Episcopal Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori says it’s “heresy” to believe that an individual can be saved through a sinner’s prayer of repentance.
In her opening address to the church’s General Conference in California, Jefferts Schori called that “the great Western heresy: that we can be saved as individuals, that any of us alone can be in right relationship with God.”
The presiding bishop said that view is “caricatured in some quarters by insisting that salvation depends on reciting a specific verbal formula about Jesus.”
According to Schori, it is heresy to believe that an individual’s prayer can achieve a saving relationship with God. “That individualist focus is a form of idolatry, for it puts me and my words in the place that only God can occupy.” (Online source)
