Part 4 of our Time for Action series will address the concerns regarding additional disciplinary actions, as outlined in our July 15 Open Letter to Archbishop Foley Beach. acnatoo.org/acnatoo-blog/t…
In our open letter, we specifically called out three leaders for their grave dereliction of duty: acnatoo.org/acnatoo-blog/o…
Action Step 1:
We ask that the Province place Chancellor Philbrick and Deacon McIntyre on leave from their respective duties until the survivors’ credible allegations have been investigated by an independent third party.

Action Step 2:
We ask that the Province provide clarity as to whether the Rev. Rand York has been disciplined by the UMD for his gross mismanagement of allegations within his parish or whether he remains a priest in good standing.

First, our open letter details some of the failures of Chancellor Philbrick and Deacon McIntyre. 
It is important to note that placing these two individuals on leave accomplishes two things: it stops ongoing harm and it prevents future harm. In brief, that is our goal at ACNAtoo.
We want to separate people who are actively causing harm from their victims, and we want to use the opportunity created by the leave of absence to prevent future harm from occurring.
We are heartened to see that both individuals are taking leaves of absence. mailchi.mp/anglicanchurch…
Second, in the case of Fr. York, Bp. Ruch assured the survivors on multiple occasions starting in May 2019 that he was dealing with York’s dereliction of duty.
Given Bp. Ruch’s untrustworthy communication, as well as photographic evidence of Fr. York acting in a priestly role in January 2021, clarification is needed.
For the mental health of survivors and for congregants everywhere who are watching to see if justice will be done, a public statement on Fr. York’s status is of crucial importance.
