Court Sets Date for Bishop Bennison’s Appeal

March 17, 2010

The Court of Review for the Trial of a Bishop has scheduled a one-day session to hear the appeal of the Rt. Rev. Charles E. Bennison, Jr.

The review court will convene at 9 a.m. May 4 at the Cathedral of St. John, Wilmington, Del. The bishops who serve on the court will hear two hours of oral arguments.

In June 2008, the Court for the Trial of a Bishop ruled that Bennison, Bishop of Pennsylvania since 1998, should be deposed for conduct unbecoming a member of the clergy. the rest
