If you have carried any questions or concerns during the investigative and trial process, we encourage you to read the Court Order. It’s a readable, narrative account. Or start with this summary by the American Anglican Council. If you missed Father Matt’s letter announcing the Court’s decision, you can find it here. For more background, see the diocesan FAQs or the Province’s page.
We’ll seek to address some of the questions we received in the last several weeks and hope to bring a measure of closure.
