To the Clergy and People of the Diocese of Albany,<\/p>\n
Several of you have been asking about the status of the Title IV Disciplinary proceedings directed against me in regard to B012. I have been notified that a Hearing, headed by The Rt. Rev. W. Nicholas Knisely, (President of the Hearing Panel) is scheduled to be held at the Desmond Hotel in Albany on Tuesday, April 21, 2020. The subject of the Hearing is \u201cThe Matter of Allegations Concerning the Rt. Rev. William H. Love, Bishop of Albany.\u201d<\/p>\n
It is alleged by the Intake Report and Investigator\u2019s Report that I have \u201cviolated Canon IV.4.1(c) by failing to abide by the promises and vows made when he [I] was ordained, specifically the Declaration he [I] signed at his [my] ordination as bishop in which he [I] promised to \u2018conform to the doctrine, discipline, and worship of The Episcopal Church.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n
The above charge is the result of my unwillingness to abide by Resolution B012, passed by the 79th General Convention of the Episcopal Church, which if followed, would allow for same-sex marriages to occur in the Diocese of Albany.<\/p>\n
