I feel moved to propose additional questions for Chuck Murphy III. Never mind that he will not have opportunity to respond to these questions. It would not have made any difference anyway, seeing as how he deftly avoided substantive response to Patricia Nakamura's questions and would no doubt do the same to these:

1. How is it that you and John Rodgers consider yourselves bishops in the Anglican Communion when the Archbishop of Canterbury has said you are not bishops? How can you be Anglican and not be connected with Canterbury? Or did I miss something somewhere?

2. What are you bishop of? What diocese, I mean? Every other bishop I have known anything about has been a bishop of somewhere or other. If you are a bishop of Rwanda, when and by whom were you elected or selected?

3. You point out at least two arch enemies of what you deem to be orthodoxy, namely Jack Spong and "seminary professors." Would you care to elaborate on the latter? On which ones are you hanging the red "H" for heresy?

4. For all your asseverations to be intending to save the church, does it ever cross your mind that your actions do quite the opposite?
