Retired Episcopal Bishop Nabbed in OWS Protests Against Trinity Episcopal Church

NEW YORK, NY - DECEMBER 17: NYPD officers push a fence back against activists as they try and gain entrance to the private park owned by Trinity Church next to Duarte Square at Sixth Avenue and Canal Street on December 17, 2011 in New York City.

Trinity Wall Street church, which owns the Occupy Wall Street–coveted lot at Duarte Square, may have the current Episcopal leadership on their side, but the protesters have a retired bishop on theirs — he was arrested in full cassock, along with 50-or-so other occupiers, yesterday. "I am heartened to know he looked pretty happy in the paddy wagon," said his wife. [Telegraph UK]
