"Finally, I suspect that it is by entering that deep place inside us where our secrets are kept that we come perhaps closer than we do anywhere else to the One who, whether we realize it or not, is of all our secrets the most telling and the most precious we have to tell." Frederick Buechner

Fr. Jake: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about Canon Law and Deposition of Bishops But Were Afraid To Ask (Because Your Knee Was Jerking)
Everything you ever wanted to know about the Canons as they apply to the George Conger-inspired drama as reported in The Living Church over the deposition of Bishop Schofield can be found over at Fr. Jake's place: "To all knee-jerkers: Take a pill and read the canons."
Even this canonically-impaired Bozo brain gets it now.
Thanks, Jake. You're the BEST!
Oh, and SHEESH! Won't we all be glad when this Schism comes to an end?
This is worse than a Root Canal. Any day!
