Bishop Iker insists he’s still in charge of Episcopal Diocese

Here at the Café we’ve been notified that earlier today Bishop Jack Iker, who left the Episcopal Church with a group from the Diocese of Fort Worth to become members of the Anglican Province of the Southern Cone, has had his lawyer write the Steering Committee of the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth’s lawyer that they must stop using the name of the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth and its emblem since they are his property and not theirs.

Which is sort of an odd thing to claim for someone who has abandoned the Episcopal Church in part because being associated with the Episcopal Church was becoming increasingly “a scandal” to his faithful.

We’re told that Dallas Morning News and other Texas media outlets are working on a story about the details and should have something up tomorrow morning.

Keep an eye on this space.
