DALLAS — The conservative bishop of the Fort Worth Episcopal Diocese accused the leader of the U.S. church in a letter this week of misusing her office and participating in "aggressive, dictatorial posturing."

Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori warned Fort Worth Bishop Jack Iker last week that he could face discipline if he continues to back proposals to separate from the U.S. church. The Texas diocese will consider taking steps in meetings Friday and Saturday to leave the national church over deep differences in biblical interpretation.

Iker fired back a response Monday that called the suggestion that he had violated church law "baseless."
