“It grieves me to tell you that several months ago, we were contacted by someone who reported that he had been sexually abused as a child by Mr. Thomas Whittemore during the time Mr. Whittemore served as the director of music at St. Peter’s Church, Pine St., Philadelphia. At the time we received the report, Mr. Whittemore was employed by a parish in the Episcopal Diocese of New Jersey.” – The Rt. Reverend Daniel G. P. Gutiérrez, XVI Bishop of The Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania
