From The Baltimore Sun-Episcopal Bishop Heather Cook, who is charged with killing a bicyclist with her car while drunken driving in December, was formally restricted by the national church on Tuesday from acting as a member of its clergy
The order from Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori, who oversees all the church's bishops, came after the Maryland Episcopal Diocese wrote Cook a letter requesting her resignation.
"You shall not exercise or engage in the ordained ministry of this Church in any respect, shall not participate in any functions of the House of Bishops, and shall not hold yourself out as an ordained person of this Church in good standing, until such time as all matters relating to you that are pending before a panel of the Disciplinary Board of Bishops shall have been finally resolved," Schori's restriction said.
