The Communications Director for the Episcopal Diocese of ..[Southern] Ohio, Richelle Thompson, said Omosebi is a visiting clergy with limited privileges in the church. She said he would only fill in for ministers when they were sick or on vacation, but could not say when the last time he officiated was.
Thompson said Omosebi will not officiate in the church while his case goes through the legal system. “We take any allegation like this very seriously,” she said.
