The results of the investigation of the three people who had been
suspended have now been announced in a fairly opaque statement from the
Presiding Bishop:

Quotes from the statement:
"Sam McDonald and Alex Baumgarten were found to have violated
established workplace policies and to have failed to live up to the
Church’s standards of personal conduct in their relationships with
employees, which contributed to a workplace environment often
inconsistent with the values and expectations of The Episcopal Church. 
Both are therefore immediately terminated.
 
The investigation concluded that Bishop Stacy Sauls did not violate
workplace policy, was unaware of the policy violations of the two staff
members reporting to him, and operated within the scope of his office.
No further investigation is warranted. Nevertheless, given the needs for
staff leadership in light of my priorities for the direction of the
Church, Bishop Sauls will not continue as Chief Operating Officer of the
DFMS. Conversations are underway to implement this decision."

Under the heading "Going Forward" there are three subheadings:

a. HR audit and procedural review of all safeguards systems
b. Work toward a healthy culture, and
c. Operations in the meantime

The full statement is available at the link at the top of this message.
