    So – when is someone going to challenge this in a court of law? We’re a few weeks behind you on the same road, here in A&TI.

    I’d like to think that everyone involved would prefer this to be sorted out outside the courts.

    It is unseemly for the bishops to be behaving in this way and I think that at least some of them know that. I also know that they know that behaving in an unseemly way is even worse than behaving illegally in our church.

    I think it is quite likely that our bishops know how foolish it would be to pursue a policy which would allow a situation to develop where bishops are reminded repeatedly during their episcopacy that their election was irregular.
