A United Methodist Church court has acquitted a California bishop of all charges in the first trial of one of the church’s bishops in nearly a century
A United Methodist Church court acquitted a California bishop Friday of all charges in the first trial of one of the church’s bishops in nearly a century.
She was suspended with pay and benefits in March 2022 from her leadership of the California-Nevada Conference since 2016.“Matters that should have been resolved at home took on a life of their own,” her counsel, the Rev. Scott Campbell, said Thursday. But the Rev. Janet Forbes — who as church counsel functioned as prosecutor — urged jurors to focus on the charges.
“I feel great responsibility for the cost that this process has brought upon the church,” she said. “I’m embarrassed that I was not able to manage the work of this annual conference and its staff, its relationships in a way that would have prohibited this extended process.” Some of the most personal testimony centered on an allegation that Carcaño retaliated against a pastor who had received preliminary approvals to lead a new church. After that pastor requested maternity leave that would have overlapped with the start of the church, Carcaño changed her assignment to only quarter-time at the new church, with most of her time spent at a previous assignment.
