A flap over the ethics of editing the on-line encyclopedia Wikipedia has erupted in the Episcopal Church, with conservative bloggers crying foul after staffers at the Episcopal Church’s national offices in New York deleted unflattering information from the biography of Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori.

On March 17, blogger Mary Ailes, author of the popular “Baby Blue” website, reported that a “section of the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church’s bio on Wikipedia has gone missing.”

The expunged biographical details concerned the Presiding Bishop’s claim, published by the national church in summary biographies of candidates standing for election as presiding bishop in 2007, that she had served as “Dean of the Good Samaritan School of Theology in Corvallis, Oregon, from 1994–2000.” the rest

Excellent story. It was the Reverend George Conger who took the time and trouble to go to the Episcopal Church archives to try to track down the truth about the infamous Denis Canon. He found no recorded evidence of its proper passage through two General Conventions.

The DC is a violation of property and trust law in most every code of laws...but that does not stop the lawless. Sin IS lawlessness.

Thanks for the link.

Here's an article aimed at Episcopalian readership, which you can give to Episcopalian friends to help them understand the importance of electoral justice, and for this to rise to discussion and eventually be investigated: Jefferts-Schori and Corvallisgate: Electoral justice is also a “justice issue”
