Aided and abetted by his Archdeacon Andie Brown, "professional" victim Andrea Quine, ordinand Mark Payne who was offended by having his preaching critiqued, and two disaffected churchwardens, Alan Grace and Timothy Henwood, Bishop Robert Paterson used the Clergy Discipline Measure to silence the island's Canon Theologian and scupper his Petition of Doleance to Tynwald, the Isle of Man's parliament--the longest continually functioning parliament in the world.

The five-member panel consisting of three bishops, a priest and a layperson also set March 28-30 as dates for a disciplinary hearing to be held against Bruno in Los Angeles.

Robert Williams, spokesman for the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles, declined to comment "since both civil litigation and canonical proceedings continue in these matters."

"Lima is strategic," he said, explaining the decision to establish a church here. "It is between Toledo and Dayton. We found that Lima shares some very important dynamics. There is St. Rita's Hospital there. You produce military equipment there. We discovered that Lima is a good, fertile ground for the Gospel."

The Archdeacon Andie Brown was present at the service when Rev. Boyle made his announcement and was seeking feedback from the congregation after the service. It is reported that both Bishop and Archdeacon have been attempting to close down the church. St Matthew's is the only church on the island that continues to fiercely resist women clergy and both bishop and archdeacon have been pursuing a pro-women's ordination agenda and imposing it on a number of unwilling parishes.
