The four officiating bishops at the July 29 ceremony in Philadelphia pause in the corridor during the special meeting of the House of Bishops in Chicago, August 14-15. Shown are, 1. to r., Bishop Edward R. Welles, retired bishop of West Missouri; Bishop Antonio Ramos, bishop of Costa Rica; Bishop Robert L. DeWitt, resigned bishop of Pennsylvania; and Bishop Daniel Corrigan, retired bishop of Colorado and former head of the national office of domestic mission of the Executive Council. The four bishops said their motivation for the irregular ceremony -- declared invalid by the House of Bishops -- was loyalty to "a higher obedience. " (Credit: ADVANCE, Diocese of Chicago).
