The standing committee has also decided to withhold consent, the bishop writes, adding: “Please pray for Fr. Forrester, the Diocese of Northern Michigan and this church.”
Meanwhile, a diocesan official in Utah confirmed today that the Rt. Rev. Carolyn Tanner Irish, bishop of Utah, and the standing Committee have both given consent. No statement has been released. If one is, I’ll post it.
My updated tally:
Bishops withholding consent: 29
Bishops giving consent: 12
