"The apparent rejection of ordained lay Zen Buddhist Kevin Thew Forrester as Bishop is the first time the Episcopal Church
has rejected a bishop candidate on theological grounds in over a
century." -- Jeff Walton, Director of IRD's Anglican Action Program
WASHINGTON,

the majority of diocesan standing committees. Unless
some of the votes are re-cast before the July deadline,
Forrester's election will be denied.

(TOB) message in particular.
