- Notes
- "Donald Harvey, who will retire as bishop of Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador at the end of this month [November 2004], has accepted an offer to become an episcopal visitor to a conservative parish in Marlborough, Mass., whose diocesan bishop -- Thomas Shaw -- was among those who voted for the consecration of gay bishop Gene Robinson of New Hampshire last year. Bishop Harvey said he was invited by Bishop Shaw to provide episcopal oversight to the Church of the Holy Trinity, which recently hired a conservative priest, Rev. Michael McKinnon, as its rector. The invitation limits Bishop Harvey's role to 'pastoral' oversight and 'spiritual help' since the parish will remain a part of the diocese of Massachusetts and of the Episcopal Church of the United States (ECUSA). Under canon law, Mr. McKinnon remains under the authority of the diocesan bishop, said Steve Walker, who chaired the search committee". "Mr. Walker said that it was necessary to get an episcopal visitor outside the U.S. since 'you can't just cross diocesan lines here, it's just not done; it causes a lot of trouble and none of us need that". Bishop Harvey "becomes the second conservative Canadian bishop to oversee an Episcopal parish in the U.S. Last July [2003], Bishop Terrence Buckle of the Yukon accepted an offer to oversee a parish in Alaska".
