Bishop John-David Schofield Suspended From TEC

The Episcopal Church banned a Bishop John-David Schofield from practicing his religious duties until March after he led his congregants to secede from the national church.

Bishop Schofield drew criticism from The Episcopal Church when he urged his conservative diocese to sever its ties to the church last month in a fight over the Bible and homosexuality.

Schofield cannot give sermons, do confirmations or perform any religious rites until TEC leaders meet to determine a final judgment by March 13.
