Yet Another Episcopal Bishop Will Be Received by Rome This December
The Rt. Rev’d John Lipscomb, retired bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of the Southwest Florida, and his wife Marcie will be received into the Catholic Church some time before Christmas. This means that December will mark the reception of both Jeffrey Steenson (former Episcopal bishop of the Rio Grande) and now Lipscomb.
Bishop Lipscomb retired as bishop on September 15. He has publicly stated that he will not avail himself of the Pastoral Provision whereby married former Episcopal priests can receives Holy Orders in the Roman Rite.
