The Rev. W. William Melnyk - Episcopal News - IRD

09/05/02 - The new Archbishop of Canterbury has been inducted as a druid in a centuries-old Celtic ceremony. Dr Rowan Williams, the current Archbishop of Wales, said that he had been "saddened" by the misrepresentations about the ceremony, which sparked concern about pagan links.

11/04/04 - I am resigning my membership in the Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids, as a sign of my repentence.

03/31/05 - You folks might like to know that I have renounced by ordination vows, and formed the Llynhydd Grove of the Druid Order of the Yew. You might want to take my forced letter of 'recantation' off your website.

02/28/05 - After a three-month "discernment process," however, Melnyk renounced his ordination in a Feb. 28 letter, and Bennison said diocesan officials approved the decision on March 22.

04/15/05 - In a rapid change of heart, a local Episcopal priest is abandoning Druid spirituality.
