Conservatives question Episcopal ouster

Conservatives here and across the pond are questioning the ouster of former Episcopal bishop of San Joaquin John-David Schofield. They've scoured the Episcopal Church's canons and found that a "majority of the whole number bishops entitled to vote" must give consent to depose a bishop.

Conservatives say only 68 were present at the vote to depose Schofield-- out of 294 eligible voters.

Question: Since Schofield himself says he's gladly not a part of the Episcopal Church anymore, does this even matter?
