| THE BISHOP of Pennsylvania has been found guilty of “conduct unbecoming a member of the clergy” by an ecclesiastical trial court in Philadelphia. On June 26 the nine-judge Court for the Trial of a Bishop found that Bishop Bennison had conspired to cover up acts of sexual abuse against a minor committed by his brother.
The court returned a unanimous guilty verdict on the charge Bishop Bennison failed “to respond appropriately” to the abuse committed by his brother, John Bennison, when his brother served as Charles Bennison’s youth minister in the 1970s at St Mark’s Episcopal Church in Upland, California.
