Walter Decoster Dennis, Jr. (August 23, 1932 – March 30, 2003) was a suffragan bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of New York, from 1979 to 1998.[1]
He drafted the "Dennis Canon" which seeks to impose a trust, in favor of the Episcopal Church, on property held by a local group of Episcopal adherents. Its intended effect is to discourage a local group from withdrawing from the Episcopal Church, as under the Dennis Canon such property would revert to the Episcopal Church.
