...many Episcopal bishops agree with the dogma-smashing theological views of the Rt. Rev. James A. Pike, recently resigned head of the California diocese. On the other hand, not many Episcopal bishops want to see him put on public trial for heresy, either. Last week in Wheeling, W. Va., at its annual meeting, the House of Bishops adopted a compromise, plague-on-both-sides statement of principles that blistered Pike for his "offensive" and "irresponsible" utterances - meaning his skepticism about such doctrines as the Virgin Birth and the Trinity. At the same time, the house deplored the notion...

But other Episcopal leaders are worried about the disastrous effect of a heresy hearing on the church's image and the bitter internal conflicts it would create.
