Episcopal priest quits after Druid embrace: William Melnyk repents and recants
One member of an Episcopal clergy couple who came under fire for embracing pagan worship has recanted and resigned his Pennsylvania pulpit, while his wife also apologized but expects to keep her job.
William Melnyk, known in pagan circles as “OakWyse,” resigned as rector of St. James’ Church in Downingtown after begging “for the mercy of the church and of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
