From The Living Church-The Rt. Rev. Brian N. Prior, Bishop of the Episcopal Church in Minnesota, writes to his diocese about accusations brought against the Rev. Canon Michael Pipkin:
I write this day asking for your prayers.
Every person in discernment for a
possible call to the episcopate encounters a deep vulnerability — not
only for the potential candidate, but for their family as well.
The Episcopal Church in Colorado has
removed your Missioner for Missional Management, Michael Pipkin, from
consideration in their bishop search.
As such, I ask for your prayers for the
entire Pipkin family, as well as the Episcopal Church in Colorado, as
they continue to discern whom God is calling to be their next bishop.
Once I became aware that concerns were
raised about Michael, which led to his removal, I gathered together the
President of the Standing Committee, Tom Cook, the Chair of the
Personnel Committee, Judy Shoulak and the Chancellor for ECMN, Doug
Franzen. This group counseled that we seek to gather all relevant
material regarding these concerns in order to conduct our own
independent inquiry.
