I am disappointed that only liberal and moderately liberal bishops were nominated for Presiding Bishop [TLC, May 4]. Is the nominating committee saying there is "no room in '815' inn" for others?

My candidate would be a person like Ambrose of Milan, who was an able administrator, got along well with his constituents, made peace between warring factions of the church, and proved pastoral. While the people of Milan were acrimoniously searching for a bishop, opposing groups almost unanimously and spontaneously endorsed Ambrose, who had attended the election as mediator. Protesting his selection, he finally acquiesced and was baptized, ordained and consecrated in a period of eight days. The Holy Spirit inspired this wise choice.

Hopefully, someone will nominate a truly faithful and orthodox person from the floor who will save us from ourselves and from each other. Is there a peace-making, reconciling Ambrose out there, somewhere?
