A Te Deum and non nobis

This blog notes with thanksgiving that one wolf in our midst has had his actions evaluated and named for what they are.

Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori on January 11 inhibited Diocese of San Joaquin Bishop John-David Schofield.

...

On January 9, Upper South Carolina Bishop Dorsey Henderson, committee chair, wrote to Jefferts Schori, telling her that the nine-member committee had met that day and that a majority agreed that the documentation provided to them "demonstrated that Bishop Schofield has abandoned the communion of this Church by an open renunciation of the Doctrine, Discipline or Worship of this Church."

Read it all here.

Please continue to pray and support the People of God in the Episcopal Diocese of San Joaquin.

UPDATE:



Let us not forget the fallen, those damaged on every side, and let us pray for healing. I wept (again) watching this scene.

UPDATE 2:

Lisa at Episcopal Majority reminds us we can send love in tangible forms to Remain Episcopal.

Glory hallelujah! And about damn time. Now the people there can really start the process of healing, with +KJS' authority behind them.

(Help me with my Latin: non nobis?)

Psalm 115.

It is a reference to Henry V
You can see the scene after the battle of Agincourt and hear it in Branagh's film

The spiritual carnage was part of what I had in mind. It is not a celebration, though one give thanks.

Ah! I was trying to make "not us" make sense in context; now I get it. Thanks!

I'm steeling myself for a new round of caption contests at Maddie's. I just have a feeling it's coming, LOL.
