"I do not believe these allegations have any merit,"
"I place my faith and trust in the process outlined in our canons to bring clarity and truth in these matters and respectfully decline to comment further at this time."
"I was in shock," Buxton told the Post. "It's just bizarre to me how far we the Anglican Church in North America and its leadership have gotten away from basic morals and principles."
Multiple individuals submitted a formal presentment alleging that Archbishop Steve Wood committed sexual harassment, bullying, plagiarism, and misuse of church funds. Claire Buxton alleges Wood attempted to kiss her in his office in April 2024 and that he gave her more than $3,000 from church funds, with employees noting Wood's "excessive praise and fondness" for her. Priests have accused Wood of plagiarizing sermons and bullying staff before his election as archbishop. The presentment lists violations including ordination vows, conduct causing scandal, and sexual immorality. Wood denied the allegations and invoked canonical processes while continuing to serve as bishop.
