Fr. Moyer will be consecrated February 16 at 7.30pm at the Church of the Good Shepherd and as a bishop for the ACA/TAC will exercise episcopal oversight for its military chaplaincies. His official title will be Bishop of the Armed Forces. "I have accepted this call from God. I am humbled but I do know very deeply that this is the work of God. I did not seek this.” Moyer said of his future role in the TAC

Ackerman blasted what he called the cavalier nature of our province which "disregards the very tender unity that exists between us and many who laid their lives on the line daily just for professing that they are Christians."

The Rev. Dr. Dennis Paris has been one of his main targets since the priest who is also a university professor and author, wrote a book condemning the Episcopal Church's position on homosexuality and was tossed out of the church by the bishop.

Paris wrote to VirtueOnline and said the bishop was ratcheting up the pain by doing everything he could to see that the formation of a new AMIA parish on the island would not get off the ground.

If I have heard this cry once I have heard it on the phone numerous times and I read the anguished notes to me daily in my e-mails. Dozens of rectors are agonizing over their situations. Some have very large churches. Many of them are also under pressure from their wives. Their wives will not have their children brought up in a church that blesses sodomy they tell me.
