Michael Oulton
Michael Douglas Oulton (born 21 December 1959 in Sackville, New Brunswick[1]) is the current Anglican Bishop of Ontario.[2]
He was educated at the University of New Brunswick. After an earlier career as a lawyer he was ordained Deacon in 1992; and Priest in 1993. He was Rector of Alberton, Prince Edward Island from 1992 to 1997; and of St Peter, Kingston, Ontario from 1997 to2004; and of Christ Church, Belleville, Ontario from 2004 to his elevation to the Episcopate.[3]
During his time as bishop, Oulton has been alleged to have been a party to a cover-up of serious child abuse within the Anglican Diocese of Ontario. The Diocese has been the subject of several child abuse lawsuits and a criminal trial over the years. Corruption in the Diocese' hierarchy has been alleged. One of Canada's national networks, CTV, aired a documentary film about the abuse on the W5 programme called "In the Name of God", which was released on February 6, 2016 to coincided with the launch of the book, "Grenville", by Andrew J. Hale-Byrne. "[4] "[5] "[6] "[7] "[8]
