Bishop Ackerman Accepts Call to Springfield
December 3, 2008
The Rt. Rev. Keith L. Ackerman, who resigned last month as Bishop of Quincy, will serve as an assisting bishop in the neighboring Diocese of Springfield. The Rt. Rev. Peter H. Beckwith, Bishop of Springfield, said the Presiding Bishop’s office had been notified that the new position would become effective Dec. 1.
Bishop Ackerman’s resignation came a week before an overwhelming majority of delegates to the annual synod of the Diocese of Quincy voted to leave The Episcopal Church and to affiliate with the Anglican Church of the Southern Cone, based in Argentina. the rest

I am intrigued by this move. Bishop Ackerman was front and center at last night's worship service for the CCP, where the new province was being celebrated. How is he now affiliated with Springfield? How is that going to work? Is he still a member of the Southern Cone's house of bishops? I'm confused.
