Summary
In this episode of The Episcopalian podcast, Jake Dell reveals how bishops in the Episcopal Church are quietly overriding parish rights through uncanonical “priest in charge” arrangements and flawed search processes. He explains why vestries must reclaim their canonical authority to elect rectors before episcopal overreach permanently weakens faithful congregations.
