ATTACKS ON CONSERVATIVE ANGLICANS
In the wake of their opposition to the ordination of a homosexual as a bishop of the Episcopal Church, there have been two violent incidents against conservative Anglicans. In London, England, Bishop Simon Oketch was apparently confronted by two Church of England clergymen, who grabbed him after he refused to waver on his position. Bystanders on the street had to pull the men off of him. Link to East African Standard

In Graham, Texas a small conservative Episcopal mission church was set afire by someone left writing on the wall, "God and Jesus love Homosexuals." Link

David Virtue has been cataloging the response of conservatives to the action of last week's general assembly. After reading letters from scores of bishops and organizations it appears that while grieved they are not panicked. And they don't seem ready to leave the Episcopal Church en masse. However, they are working on strategies to withhold funds and recognition of Gene Robinson. It sounds like they're getting ready to do a massive end-run around the Episcopal Church structure.
