Declaring that War is "not an un-Christian thing," the Commission asked Bishop Jones's resignation, got it. The House of Bishops cautiously declined to accept the Commission's report but did accept the resignation on the basis of Bishop Jones's "impaired usefulness . . . recognized by himself." Deprived of his diocese, a bishop in name only, on half pay, Paul Jones labored for a time as a missionary in Maine, later became a secretary...
