...group takes such ancient tradition more seriously than the Episcopal schismatics, and they tried desperately to enlist a third consecrator. One retired bishop agreed to participate, then backed out last year for health reasons. The schismatics were counting on Bishop Clarence Haden of Sacramento, a crusty conservative who celebrated Communion at their first national rally in St. Louis last September, but he decided to do nothing.

The union's bill has encountered some resistance in the legislature, so Shea and Frank have put off efforts to pass the bill until next year, when they hope to enlist the lobbying support of the AFL-CIO to secure the bill's passage...
