Brown Bishop Deposed by Episcopal House of Bishops
William Montgomery Brown was ordered removed from the roll of bishops by the Episcopal Church's House of Bishops after a church court conviction for heresy. The sentence, read by Presiding Bishop Ethelbert Talbot, stated Brown is deposed from the sacred ministry. Brown, who had resigned as Bishop of Arkansas in 1912, remained defiant, claiming his orders remain recognized.
