Concerning the Status of David C. Bane, Jr.
|
To: The Clergy of the Diocese of East Carolina, including those
Licensed to Serve
From: The Bishop
Concerning the Status of David C. Bane, Jr.
I have received in today's mail the document (liked below) entitled Renunciation of Ordained Ministry and Declaration of Removal and Release. The document relates to David C. Bane, who now resides in Elizabeth City, NC, within the boundaries of this Diocese.
Since Mr. Bane has renounced the ordained ministry of The Episcopal Church, I cannot give my permission for him to celebrate Eucharist or administer any sacrament, fulfill any role reserved to those ordained in this Church, or to preach or teach in any congregation of this Diocese. It is furthermore inappropriate for any clergy person or congregation of this Diocese to invite him to preach, teach or administer any sacrament in any setting.
