The Standing Committee has been working hard at choosing the
search and transition committees as we discern our next bishop. By the
end of the application process on June 15, we had received 62
applications for a total of 20 spots available. The Standing Committee
met on July 12 and now has a preliminary selection for the two
committees. We will gather some additional information over the next
month, and will make our final decision at our August 2 meeting. Thank
you to all who applied, and please keep the Standing Committee, and the
Diocese in your prayers.
