Under Baymon, the World Bishops Council has stood against Universalism, in one case correcting the teachings of United Church of Christ Bishop Carlton Pearson, which the Council judged to be heretical.[11] In 2001, the Unification Church promoted an event called "We Will Stand!" where Baymon introduced Sun Myung Moon as the keynote speaker on a 50-state 51-day tour.[12][13][14] Baymon signed a letter with twenty-eight other religious leaders in support of religious freedom in Iraq[15] Representing the WBC at the United Nations' 60th DPI/NGO Conference, Baymon urged Christians to "become greater stewards of the earth" by conserving energy, by reducing greenhouse gases and deforestation, and by creating public and private partnerships which will lead to renewable energy sources.[3]
With a background in the Church of God in Christ, Timothy Baymon entered the autocephalous movement and was ordained in August 1999 by Carl Jimenez, Peter Brennan, James Lagona, and Joseph Grenier.[16] The ICHCOC has recently established its U.S. Headquarters in Springfield, MA following the purchase of the historic Springfield Masonic Temple, renamed the Basilica of the Holy Apostles.

Deposed bishop Edward Chomba charged that Baymon on January 1, 2007 attacked him, accusing him of practicing witchcraft and brainwashing another man. Baymon was arraigned and plead not guilty. At the arraignment, Baymon's lawyer argued for dismissal of the charges, stating there were four witnesses to the fight and claimed the witnesses said Baymon "didn't do anything."[1][2]
