Retired Indianapolis Bishop Edward Jones dies at 78
[Episcopal News Service] Edward Witker Jones, ninth bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Indianapolis, died at Meadowood Health Pavilion in Bloomington, Indianapolis, on the morning of July 28. He was 78.
Jones had suffered a fall in February and surgery was undertaken to stop the bleeding caused to his brain. In May, it was discovered that the bleeding had recurred and he made the decision not to undergo further surgery.
"These past months have provided time for his family and friends to visit with him, and to join them in prayer and preparation for a holy death," Indianapolis Bishop Catherine Waynick said in a letter to the diocese. "Bishop Ted served this diocese faithfully and with great care and gentleness for two decades. His ability to see and affirm the very best in every person gave him a generosity of spirit which is rare and precious."
