“Title IV” refers to the section of The Episcopal Church’s Canons (laws) that addresses the grounds and processes for “ecclesiastical discipline,” a canonical process adopted by the Church to encourage accountability, reconciliation, and pastoral response when a member of its clergy (deacons, priests, or bishops) are accused of misconduct.

Episcopal Church Canon IV.13.3 provides in part that for cases that are heard by a “Hearing Panel” for adjudication, the Panel “shall make documents available to members of the Church and the Church media . . . .

For a matter in which a Priest or Deacon is the Respondent, dissemination shall include, at a minimum, posting to the diocesan website.” This is a posting for documents filed with the Hearing Panel in cases in the Diocese since the adoption of this requirement.
