March 17, 1993 Iker Receives Bishop's Consents 93049A
Episcopal News Service
The Diocese of Fort Worth has announced that the Rev. Jack Iker has received consent from a majority of the Episcopal Church's bishops and that he will be consecrated bishop-coadjutor on April 24, 1993. The announcement ended a contentious consent process that centered on Iker's opposition to the ordination of women as priests and bishops. Presiding Bishop Edmond L. Browning will serve as chief consecrator of Iker, and Bishops Clarence Pope (Fort Worth) and John Krumm (retired bishop of Southern Ohio) will be coconsecrators.
