Letter to the editor: Is a bishop still a bishop after he/she leaves denomination ?

Notes: "I am confused as to why you continue to refer to Don Harvey as a bishop ... Nearly a year ago, the Anglican Journal reported that Mr. Harvey had relinquished his ministry." Editor's response: Consulting with the chancellor, Ronald Stevenson, he writes: 'In the relinquishment document prescribed by Canon XIX, the cleric says he voluntarily relinquished the exercise of the ministry in the Anglican Church of Canada to which he or she has been admitted. The cleric does not relinquish his or her orders/ordination."
