A Letter to the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles
The Rt. Rev. John Harvey Taylor, Bishop Coadjutor
August 14, 2017
The Rt. Rev. John Harvey Taylor
writes on behalf of himself and the Rev. Dr. Rachel Anne Nyback, president of the Standing Committee of the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles to summarize conclusions reached about matters that have roiled our diocese for over two years, since the public learned of the initial plan by the "Bishop as Corporation Sole" to sell the property on Via Lido in Newport Beach. The letter is written in the spirit of Resurrection and love and the hope of reconciliation, and also to acquaint our community with the limitations imposed on us all by the reality of present circumstances.
