Clarification: The story “Haiti Election Forces Reckoning” (Sept. 10) mischaracterized how Dan Tootle describes a dynamic of the Diocese of Haiti’s factional divide. One side has been inspired by a progressive vision once championed by former Suffragan Bishop Ogé Beauvoir, but Beauvoir is not actively leading a factional movement in the diocese, according to Tootle. The online version of the story has been corrected to reflect Tootle’s point more clearly.
