Rehill addresses press at Bishop Walter Righter trial.
Michael Rehill of the Diocese of Newark (right), attorney for Bishop Walter Righter, answers
questions from the press during a one-day hearing, February 27, in Wilmington, Delaware, on
whether the Episcopal Church holds a doctrine against the ordination of non-celibate
homosexuals. At left is Bishop John Howe of the Diocese of Central Florida, one of 10 bishops
who brought a presentment charging that Righter held and taught false doctrine and violated
his ordination vows when he ordained a non-celibate homosexual as a deacon in 1990 and
signed documents supporting such ordinations. (Episcopal News Service photo by James H.
