The Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh just went through a nasty split. Most congregations left for the more conservative Southern Cone denomination, but some stayed with the main denomination. The congregations who stayed just selected an advisory bishop to help them search for an interim bishop. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ran a story on this advisory bishop, a bishop fron Virginia, and they made sure to mention that he roots for the Pirates and Steelers. Of course, you can only take advice from people who root for our local sports teams.
Yep, it's good to be home.
So...he leads a dying denomination and roots for the Pirates. I wonder if he ever sits down and wonders where he went wrong.
