http://nashuatelegraph.com/Main.asp?SectionID=25&SubSectionID=378&ArticleID=93055 Ok, it seems we've seen yet another act of "tolerance" from a liberal bishop. Bishop Douglas Theuner of New Hampshire has removed orthodox priest, Fr. Don Wilson from his position as interim priest of Church of the Redeemer, Rochester. And it had nothing to do with his opposition to Robinson, according to Theuner. Seriously. Just how stupid does this guy think we are? Theuner, his diocese isolated, has no spiritual or theological ground to stand on, so he uses the canons to persecute orthodox opponents (the same canons I'm sure he ignores on a regular basis with regards to homosexuality and closed communion). He is using Ingham's bullying tactics and sadly, I think incidents like this will increase. All the talk of inclusivity, tolerance and diversity? Just buzzwords. This could happen to anyone in any diocese who runs afoul of his or her bishop. I don't know if the Episcopalian orthodox can last 12 months for the Primate's commission.
