Nominees for Presiding Bishop
As our church seeks to move in new directions and to continue to focus our energy and work on the ministry and mission of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who calls us to prayer, unity, healing, reconciliation, and redemption, let us keep in our prayers the following nominees for Presiding Bishop, which were announced on January 25, 2006 by the Joint Nominating Committee for the Election of the Presiding Bishop:
The Rt. Rev. J. Neil Alexander, Bishop of Atlanta
The Rt. Rev. Edwin F. Gulick, Jr., Bishop of Kentucky
The Rt. Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori, Bishop of Nevada
The Rt. Rev. Henry N. Parsley, Jr., Bishop of Alabama
Join the clergy of the Cathedral in recognizing the tremendous work of the Joint Nominating Committee and its belief that any of the persons named, if elected, and with God’s help and the prayerful support of the church, can provide the leadership required in the Episcopal Church at this time. Please pray also for the Bishops at General Convention who will elect a new presiding bishop and for the deputies who will be asked to consent to the election and for our Episcopal Church and its leadership and for its continuing ministry among the peoples of the several countries it serves in the name of Jesus Christ.
These four names will be formally submitted to the General Convention at a joint session on June 18, 2006, the day prior to the day appointed for the election of the 26th Presiding Bishop by the House of Bishops. The bishop elected will succeed our 25th Presiding Bishop, the Most Rev. Frank T. Griswold III, whose nine-year term concludes later this year. The 26th Presiding Bishop will be installed November 4, 2006, at Washington National Cathedral. If you are interested in reading more about each of the nominees and the process by which they were chosen, please see: www.episcopalchurch.org/3577_71139_ENG_HTM.htm
