Episcopal Church looking at whether Cook lied during search process

From The Baltimore Sun-

Episcopal Church officials are considering whether the Rev. Heather Elizabeth Cook — now facing criminal charges in connection with a drunken driving accident that killed a bicyclist in December — may have lied about her struggles with alcohol to smooth her path to election as the No. 2 bishop in the Diocese of Maryland last year.

In a written notice to Cook made public this week, Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori said church investigators have received information about "misrepresentations" regarding her "experience with alcohol" that she allegedly made in connection with her candidacy for bishop suffragan.
