The series on this document has now begun over at Real Anglicans. Your comments are gratefully accepted. Thank you for visiting.
Father Mark Harris has published a couple of pretty good posts on the recent spate arising out of South Carolina and Fort Worth. Professor Mullins on the Polity of the Episcopal Church is a critically important document that is just now coming to light. It has probably been around for some time and I would hazard a guess that this document is the written form that has been the basis for much if not all of the actions (or reactions?) taken by The Episcopal Church.
I have had a chance to read this document and, IMHO, it is a document that bears some significant scrutiny. Well, actually, having lived through the antics of Mr. John David Schofield and his gang of thieves, it will be well worth the time to investigate the travels and travails of the Diocese of San Joaquin in light of Professor Mullins deposition. I believe there is much yet to discuss with regard to not only the actions of those who would destroy our church but also those who would or are chiefly responsible for preserving our church. We will discuss missed opportunities, we will discuss actions taken and never brought to light let alone responded to in a meaningful way and we will talk about the motives and the means and the ultimate goals of those who "in good conscience" just had to reestablish themselves in a right relationship with Canterbury.
So, by all means read the deposition and the work Father Mark has developed and then look for the the multi-part series over at Real Anglicans.

I also read the deposition. It seemed pretty straight forward and well documented. I don't see how the "take our diocese and go home" crowd have any legal argument to stand on. Yes, it will take time and money to grind through the courts, but TEC will win in the end.
