TIMELINE: How @DioceseWGC's episcopal election in @the_ACNA devolved into chaos.

A nominee targeted for his Biblical views. Parishes threatening to leave for the sake of women's right to preach. A deadlocked synod. Intervention by the College of Bishops.

READ IT ALL below. 1/🧵 Background. The Diocese of the Western Gulf Coast (DWGC) constitutionally ordains women to the diaconate but not the priesthood. However, the bishop ordinary, Clark Lowenfield, has made a practice of licensing female deacons to preach at Eucharistic services. 2/

Bp Thad Barnum (Carolinas) shares more from ACNA college meetings.

Topics like Title IV reform & WO are "distractions" from the devil.

"Infighting" & divisions "torment us".

"Ungodly people" on social media bring "reproach on our Saviour" & "those of us" they "slander". 1/ "I fear the devil is so winning this day. His desire is to shut our mouth. That's what his desire is. And so what he does with us—on the provincial level, it drives me crazy, at the college of bishops, at the diocesan level, at the parish level—there are so many distractions." 2/

Here's a timeline of events at Incarnation Anglican Church in Williamsburg, Virginia, for those interested in following ongoing episcopal misconduct and imposition of C4SO ideology by Chris Warner, Bishop of the Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic (DOMA) in @The_ACNA: Dec 27: It is suddenly announced that IAC’s priest, widely respected by the congregation, will be departing within a month with no planned replacement. It is also revealed that he was quietly demoted earlier in the year from interim rector to priest in charge.
