Orthodox Bishops in the Episcopal Church

Dear lowly,

I understand your position, but the Church is Episcopal after all. (by that I mean all the ancient orthodox churches). As St. Ignatius said, "Where the Bishop is, there is the Church." I think the orthodoxy of a Bishop out ways all other considerations; the priests are simply his assistants. I say this with all due respect, since I respect you and your views on so many subjects, but a heterodox Bishop is anathema to the churches with Apostolic Succession. I just can't agree with your last statement about the parish.

I agree with you..a parish is representative of the Diocese. If the 2 are at loggerheads, there is then no stability. If the Bishop is heterodox, he will soon find reasons to get rid of the orthodox priest so the orthodoxy of the parish cannot be sustained.
