Notes

Rt. Rev. Shannon Sherwood Johnston (DOB: 10/20/58) was an organizer and leader of the clergy at the Unite the Right counter-protest. He was the Episcopalian bishop of Virginia at the time. This brings up the question, "What's the proper color of vestments to wear to a riot?". Black, I suppose. He apparently doesn't tolerate dissent very well. He co-authored a letter that said, "In our judgment, therefore, the Church cannot remain silent in the face of those who seek to foment division.” An Episcopalian bishop participating in a violent Antifa protest is not so surprising given that an Episcopal parish in Portland hosted a Antifa day camp known as "Budding Roses" several years ago. A sitting bishop probably isn't Antifa but the clergy at Charlottesville gave legitimacy to the violent counter-protest and at times were on the front lines. The good bishop got his chasuble up in a knot when several dioceses attempted to leave the Episcopal church in a dispute over gay marriage among other things. He retired with his wife to a nice row house in Richmond in 2018. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannon_Johnston https://archive.is/Xrvl8, https://archive.is/CPtgq, https://archive.is/i9nQS, https://archive.is/8NIBn
