The oldest bishop in the history of The Episcopal Church who has served as both priest and bishop for more than half a century has been served a notice of deposition by Mrs. Jefferts Schori, the Episcopal Church's Presiding Bishop for abandoning the communion of the Episcopal Church.

The Rt. Rev. William A. Cox, 87, now a resident in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and one of the senior statesman bishops of The Episcopal Church told VOL that he had been served the papers and had 60 days to respond on why he should not be tossed out of the church.

"I resigned from the Episcopal Church House of Bishops last year and was offered a safe spiritual haven to minister by the Archbishop of the Southern Cone," Cox told VOL. "He has included me as one of his own under his jurisdiction." the rest at Virtueonline
