Action comes after Review Committee says Schofield has abandoned the
Episcopal Church
My bishop, Bishop Leo Frade, Episcopal Bishop of the Diocese of SE Florida was one of the three senior bishops to find cause for inhibition.
By Mary Frances Schjonberg
Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori on January 11 inhibited
Diocese of San Joaquin Bishop John-David Schofield.
In the text of the inhibition, Jefferts Schori wrote: "I hereby
inhibit the said Bishop Schofield and order that from and after 5:00
p.m. PST, Friday, January 11, 2008, he cease from exercising the gifts
of ordination in the ordained ministry of this Church; and pursuant to
Canon IV.15, I order him from and after that time to cease all
'episcopal, ministerial, and canonical acts, except as relate to the
administration of the temporal affairs of the Diocese of San Joaquin,'
until this Inhibition is terminated pursuant to Canon IV.9(2) or
superseded by decision of the House of Bishops."
Jefferts Schori acted after the Title IV Review Committee certified
that Schofield had abandoned the communion of the Episcopal Church.
