The RNS, ever vigilant to give the pecusa spin ties some interesting notes in this post. The Episcopal Fraud comprises the real Episcopalians though they are a minority in Fort Worth. This minority has supposedly rebuilt the genuine Diocese of Fort Worth and this minority is in court seeking the state's imprimatur for their new diocese that is the really, truly the genuine diocese. Got it? ed.

The Episcopal Church and erstwhile Episcopalians in Fort Worth, Texas, who split for a more conservative branch of the Anglican Communion have officially begun the legal tussle about who gets the name: Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth.
A lawyer for the Episcopal Church, which has rebuilt the diocese with the minority of loyalists who stayed, says the seccessionists' "continued use of these names and emblems is not authorized, violates the existing rights of the Diocese ... and unnecessarily creates confusion among third parties."
The secessionists say: "We still have the name. It was issued by the Secretary of State with Bishop Iker as its head."
This is gonna get expensive.
