I apologize for not having written earlier about yesterdayâs episcopal election in Pittsburgh. I have needed to recover from the experience and to think seriously about what happened. The wait is over, however, and I have now posted an essay titled “Snatching Defeat from the Jaws of Victory: How Not to Elect a Bishop.” You can read my essay at http://blog.deimel.org/2012/04/snatching-defeat-from-jaws-of-victory.html.
