- Notes
- "On May 2 [2004], Bishop [Terrence] Buckle performed a confirmation and an ordination at All Saints' church, Anchorage, with the permission of Bishop Mark MacDonald of Alaska. Last November [2003], Rev. James Basinger, rector of All Saints', met with Bishop MacDonald. Three months before, the bishop and the Alaskan delegation had voted at the Episcopal General Convention to approve the election of Bishop Gene Robinson of New Hampshire." "Bishop MacDonald, who is on sabbatical, was agreeable, said the parish priest. 'He recommended Bishop Buckle and gave him written permission (to officiate). It surprised me a little bit that not only did he approve of it but assisted us in doing it. But we have a good relationship with him', said Mr. Basinger." "Last year, Bishop Buckle faced potential disciplinary action when he accepted an invitation to minister to several parishes in the Vancouver-based diocese of New Westminster, where the diocesan synod voted to allow the blessing of gay unions. In that case, the diocesan bishop, Michael Ingham, forbade Bishop Buckle from officiating in New Westminster".
