The Diocesan Service of Apology on March 25th was widely reported in the local press and further afield, with nearly universal positive coverage. According to Commission co-chairs Cynthia Copeland and Reverend Richard Witt, “we garnered a lot of traction and eyeballs! Special thanks went to Isadora Wilkenfeld, Cathedral programming and communications director, who was instrumental in promoting the Service and for generating the list below”.

As reported by Isadora Wilkenfeld, the livestream on YouTube received “around 2.4K views, and representatives from several churches reached out through comments in the live chat to express their interest in organizing similar services for their own dioceses and parishes.”
