Bishop Fights Diocese Split Over Connecticut Bishopric
Rev J H George of Newtown argues to the Farmer that articles misstate Bishop Brewster’s views. He says diocesan sentiment favors division over electing a suffragan, cites a Fairfield County Clerical Association statement and a wider clerical survey showing strong division support and opposition to a suffragan. He warns the canvass claim is baseless and urges thoughtful consideration.
