Katharine Jefferts SchoriChristian lawyer A S Haley, who blogs at Anglican Curmudgeon, has done some research on how the office of Presiding Bishop evolved to where it is now. His article is entitled “Know the Enemy”: the Office of the Presiding Bishop and was posted in November 2008.

Last week, he followed up with comments on the huge increase in litigation and in the deposition of ministers.

“What may be surprising to some is that the Presiding Bishop is doing nothing more, and nothing less, than she said she would do if the House of Bishops chose her for that office.”
