- Notes
- "Deposed Pittsburgh Bishop Robert Duncan was elected Nov, 7 [2008] to serve as bishop of a diocese where a majority of members recently voted [4 Oct. 2008] to leave the Episcopal Church and realign with the South America-based Anglican Province of the Southern Cone. In a related development, a majority of the delegates to the 131st synod of the diocese of Quincy voted that same day to leave the Episcopal Church and realign the diocese under the jurisdiction of the Southern Cone." "The process of reorganizing the diocese continues, Bishop Jefferts Schori noted. Diocese of Virginia Suffragan Bishop David Colin Jones, recently a 'consulting bishop' to the diocese of Pittsburgh, will make his first parish visit Nov. 9 [2008] to St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Highland Park. Bishop Jones will meet with members of the diocese to discuss his role in the diocese's transition."
