This just came into my email box and I thought I would share it for 
information, not necessarily dissection.

[May 1, 2015] The office of Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop Katharine 
Jefferts Schori has released information concerning Heather Cook of the 
Diocese of Maryland. Pursuant to Title IV of the Canons of The Episcopal 
Church, the Presiding Bishop and Bishop Cook have reached an Accord.  Under 
the terms of the Accord, Bishop Cook will receive a Sentence of Deposition, 
pursuant to which she shall be "deprived of the right to exercise the gifts 
and spiritual authority of God's word and sacraments conferred at 
ordination."
As such, Cook will no longer function as an ordained person in The Episcopal 
Church. The Accord resolves all ecclesiastical disciplinary matters 
involving Cook.
This Accord is separate from any resolution of employment matters involving 
Cook and the Diocese of Maryland as well as from criminal matters pending in 
the secular courts.

single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything You gave me."
