Beebe's parish faces possible ouster move
Bishop John H. Burt threatens penalties up to removal from the Episcopal Church over irregularly ordained women priests at Christ Church. A parish meeting considered a laymen committee review and action by the diocesan convention in February. Rector Rev. L. Peter Beebe warned of a severe penalty and possible expulsion, while parishioners debated whether to stand by the resolution supporting women priests or face potential costs. The laymen committee could propose loss of voting rights or dissolution of the parish diocese relationship, though removal requires convention vote.
