Bishop Peter James Lee (Diocese of Virginia—the largest in ECUSA) appointed a 14-member Reconciliation Commission to prevent schism after Robinson's consecration.


Chaired by the Rev. Andrew Merrow (a self-described "centrist"), the group includes:


Conservatives withholding funds (e.g., Church of the Apostles, Fairfax)

Liberals and moderates

Canon lawyers, scholars, communicators (including ex-NBC anchor Jim Hartz)

Merrow admitted hesitation—but affirmed episcopal obedience: "When your bishop calls, you try to serve as he sees fit. You trust his judgment and step up."


He added: "I would have preferred New Hampshire looked to the larger Anglican Communion before they acted."
