I'm afraid some Evangelicals can be like that.  They forget that the 
Anglican tradition has breadth and seeks to incorporate different styles 
of worship and different emphases, thinking that their understanding and 
their preferred style is the only valid one.  As to why the bishop sent 
this particular priest, probably just somewhere to put him.

Incidentally after sending my last post I wondered if somebody would be 
brave enough to overrule his redactions and put in the "Saints" and 
refer to Our Lady in the normal wau while reading the prayers. If 
someone referred to her as "Blessed Mary, ever virgin" then you should 
probably have an ambulance outside ;-)
