Statement of the Vestry of St. John's Episcopal Church, Bristol, CT
from titusonenine

We are deeply disappointed and shocked by the action you have taken in the last week in invading our parish home without announcement, and without permission, changing the locks on the doors so we are locked out of our own building, and inhibiting our rector. We cannot understand this action. It certainly does not seem to be the behavior of someone who wants to reconcile himself with this parish.

We believe that canon, civil, and criminal laws have been violated, and that we have cause for legal action against you.

We would prefer to have what is best for the future of this parish. What do we want? We want what we have always wanted.

We want to be members in good standing in the Anglican Communion. The constitution of the Episcopal Church says that it is a constituent member of the Anglican Communion. We are faithful Episcopalians. We have not abandoned the communion of this church. Neither has our rector. Yet you as a bishop have taken actions that places in danger our ability to remain in the Anglican Communion.
