Scheming Bishops?

In spite of my attempts to avoid the dreck over at Stand Firm, someone pointed me to a short post by Greg Griffith. It is a rather self-congratulatory piece--without details, of course--about how Stand Firm got a hold of a copy of a report for next week's meeting of the bishops of the Episcopal Church.

This particular bit had me rolling on the floor laughing:

...it was the work of a group, separated by a combined thousands of miles, all with their own kind of expertise, determined not to let this church be returned to an era of bishops scheming in secrecy...

Excuse me? Bishops scheming in secrecy? As if Duncan, Iker, Akinola, Minns, et. al. have been above board and completely open about their tactics in the attempts to oust or replace the Episcopal Church. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

Or maybe it is okay because their scheming also involves clergy and laity? After all, they had to engage in a bit of sneakiness to get a hold of a report that was not meant for general consumption. And if it was not through stealth, then why didn't Greg just tell us the names of everyone who played a part in getting the report and how it was done, instead of posting this vague piece?

Transparency indeed!

Peace,
Jeffri
