From The Living Church - Maryland- (This is very thoughtful and contains some details on the Bishop Cook incident I had not seen before)-The Rev. Anjel Scarborough, SCP, writes a pastoral letter to her congregation, Grace Church of Brunswick, Maryland (republished with her permission):
Dear beloved in Christ,
Until now, I have refrained from addressing the distressing news surrounding the automobile collision involving our Bishop Suffragan Heather Cook on December 27, 2014, which resulted in the death of Baltimore cyclist Thomas Palermo. In the wake of this collision, details have emerged over Heather Cook having a prior DUI in 2010 in Caroline County. In addition to the police investigation, the national church has launched its own investigation under Title IV of the Constitution and Canons, which may lead to Heather being put on trial in Ecclesiastical Court with the possibility of her being deposed. This morning at 11AM, Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby announced that Heather Cook has been charged with manslaughter, driving under the influence and texting while driving and a warrant has been issued for her immediate arrest.
