Post-Gazette: More allegations of abuse by former Erie Area Episcopal bishop

More allegations of child sexual abuse against the late Bishop Donald Davis of the Episcopal Diocese of Northwestern Pennsylvania have surfaced since the current bishop revealed four cases on Sunday and urged other victims to come forward.

“I now know about the possibility of more than five additional complaints,” Episcopal Bishop Sean Rowe of Erie said in a statement released Tuesday. “In the days to come, I may hear from more.

“All of these women are in my prayers, and I ask that you include them in yours. I am going to spend the next several weeks talking with women who come forward, and working with them on how best to foster their healing and reconciliation.”

What was originally known as the Diocese of Erie split from the Diocese of Pittsburgh a century ago. Bishop Davis presided over the 13-county diocese from 1974 to 1991.
