Pittsburgh: Minority recognized as 'true' Episcopal Diocese
Friday, October 10, 2008
By Ann Rodgers, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Episcopal Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori has recognized as the true Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh those who refused to secede Saturday with the majority of local Episcopalians into the Anglican Province of the Southern Cone in South America.
She confirmed the Rev. James Simons and two others as the "rightful Standing Committee of the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh." The Standing Committee governs in the absence of a bishop. The Rev. Simons, rector of St. Michael of the Valley, Ligonier, was the only member of the previous Standing Committee to oppose secession.
Both dioceses now call themselves "the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh." the rest

Yawn - could be titled "Jezebel recognized priests of Ba'al as Kohanim". These are statements of equivalent validity and relevance in the eyes of God.
In the eyes of the state it's about as valid as WaMu saying "we have no liquidity problems - we've established our own currency and have plenty of it!"
