Bishop Brown Seeks Reinstatement in Episcopate Case

In New York on May 8, Supreme Court Justice Lydon vacated service of summons in a suit by former deposed bishop William Montgomery Brown. He seeks judicial review of the church’s action and a court order reinstating him to the episcopate for compensation.

Brown says opponents will face further action if suit proceeds.
