ORLANDO, FL: Bishop Howe Rips Bishop Matthews over AMICUS CURAE Brief
ORLANDO, FL: Bishop Howe Rips Bishop Matthews over AMICUS CURAE Brief
"In what way can such a filing be considered an offense that warrants 'a disciplinary process'?"
By Bishop John W. Howe

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
There has been much discussion on this list (and elsewhere) over the past few days regarding a complaint leveled against seven bishops (myself included) who filed an Amicus Curiae ("Friend of the Court") Brief back in April in the Texas Supreme Court related to the dispute between Bishop Jack Iker, the departing "Diocese of Fort Worth," and The Episcopal Church.
(First, thanks to all who have expressed sympathy and concern both on the list and in posts to me personally. Please allow me to respond to everyone in these general remarks.)
The seven bishops (Benitez, Howe, Lambert, Love, MacPherson, Martins, and Stanton) signed onto a brief that was written by three theologians of the Anglican Communion Institute (Professors Ephraim Radner, Chris Seitz, and Philip Turner) that objected to, and attempted to correct, the way in which the court in Texas interpreted the structure of The Episcopal Church.
