Bishop of Indianapolis Inhibits Two Priests

Statement by the Reverend Dr. Thomas Gregory Tirman concerning the serving of the Notice of Inhibition against him and Deacon Chuck Conover by Catherine Waynick, Bishop of Indianapolis

St. Patrick of Ireland 2007

Dear Friends,

We received word today via separate, but identical, certified letters (other than our names), that the Reverend Charles (Chuck) Conover and I have been inhibited by Catherine Waynick, Episcopal Bishop of the Diocese of Indianapolis effective yesterday March 16, 2007.

We wish to acknowledge the receipt of these letters, and express our thankfulness to her and the Standing Committee of the Diocese of Indianapolis for them both. And though we are quite flattered by the attention, we do wish to point out that both Deacon Conover and I retired from our active ministries in the Episcopal Church, very publicly on December 31, 2006. We are now clergy in the Diocese of Bolivia.

It should be said that our decisions to retire from the Episcopal Church did not come without a lot of thought and prayer either. Though only 45, I was a life-long member, and Deacon Conover came to the Episcopal Church close to 50 years ago. We both have been ordained a long time too. I was ordained in 1989, and Chuck in 1992.
