Bishop-Elect Mark Hollingsworth, Jr.:

"I am disappointed… this is not characteristic of Christian community—especially for young people."

"No one group can define what constitutes an 'emergency.'"

He noted the Diocesan Convention had affirmed inclusive theology and General Convention's actions.

Bishop J. Clark Grew, II:

"It is unfortunate… a clandestine service planned in secret."

"There is no crisis in the Diocese of Ohio—except the one created by a minority hoping to hold onto slipping attention."

He pledged a response marked by "the life of Jesus Himself—who calls us to unity in the bonds of peace."
