Letter to the Episcopal Church Regarding Statute of Limitations Suspension for Clergy Sexual Misconduct

On December 12, 2018, Presiding Bishop Curry and President of the House of Deputies Jennings sent out a letter to the Episcopal Church regarding a suspension of the statute of limitations for clergy sexual misconduct.

As a result of Resolution D034, from January 1, 2019, until December 31, 2021, those who wish to bring a case of sexual misconduct against a member of the clergy will be able to do so, regardless of how long ago the alleged misconduct occurred. Allegations of misconduct can be made to the intake officer in the diocese where the alleged misconduct occurred, or, if the allegation is against a bishop, to the Office of Pastoral Development. 

For more information, please read the letter from Presiding Bishop Curry and President Jennings.

The contact information for the Intake Officers for the Diocese of Milwaukee can be found here.
