A Message from Bishop Hollingsworth
Along with countless others across our country and around the world, we have waited through the trial of Derek Chauvin, with increasing anxiety about results and responses, for a judgment by a jury of his peers on his culpability in the alleged murder of George Floyd. As has been affirmed by their verdict, the nine and a half minutes during which he knelt on George Floyd’s neck constituted an act of murder. While it is important to remember that the actions of one police officer do not define the thousands of dedicated and responsible law enforcement officials who risk their lives daily carrying out with integrity their vocation to protect and serve, it is also essential that we recognize how this verdict speaks to a history of inequality, oppression, and fear.
Racial Justice Audit of The Episcopal Church Releases
The Episcopal Church publicly released a report on April 19 that assesses the racial makeup and perceptions of a broad sampling of the church’s leadership and summarizes how race influences internal church culture.
A Message from Bishop Hollingsworth: Upcoming Stewardship Webinars
write to encourage your participation in the series of stewardship webinars that the Diocese of Ohio is cosponsoring with The Episcopal Network for Stewardship (TENS). As you have likely heard me say numerous times, stewardship giving is calisthenics for giving our will and our lives to God.
A Statement from the Deputies of Color of the General Convention

Messages from the Bishop and Guidelines for In-Person Gathering
To that end, the decision of whether in-person gathering for worship, formation, and governance is safe and appropriate will return to parish leadership for services and events beginning on the 5th Sunday in Lent, March 21. This will give every congregation time to consider carefully and thoughtfully what will be best in their specific context.
Messages from Bishop Hollingsworth Regarding the Coronavirus Crisis and Suspension of In-Person Worship
All congregations will suspend in-person worship by Sunday, December 13, if they have not done so already, and return to worshiping by online services only on that day.
