The Diocese of Ohio is committed to preventing clergy misconduct, and to responding with justice and compassion when misconduct occurs.
The diocese and The Episcopal Church recognize that responding to allegations of misconduct requires determination, sensitivity, and respect for all persons affected, including the person reporting an offense, the clergy member who is the subject of the report, their families and friends, the congregation(s) involved, and the whole diocese.
Title IV of the Canons of The Episcopal Church governs the handling of clergy misconduct. Title IV lists the following as offenses when they are “material and substantial or of clear and weighty importance to the ministry of the Church”:
The diocese has designated an Intake Officer to confidentially receive complaints regarding clergy misconduct and to make a determination as to whether the information in a complaint might constitute an offense under Title IV.
Anyone can report information concerning an offense by a member of the clergy. You can make a report by phone, email, or letter. A report can be made anonymously if you choose.
If you wish to give information regarding an offense of a member of the clergy in this diocese, contact one the Diocese of Ohio Intake Officers:
