Canon Michael Barlowe, that Bishop-Elect Susan B. Haynes has received the required majority of consents in the canonical consent process detailed in Canon III.11.3.

In giving consent to her ordination and consecration, Standing Committees and bishops with jurisdiction attest to knowing of “no impediment on account of which” Bishop-Elect Haynes ought not to be ordained as bishop, and that her election was conducted in accordance with the Canons.
