The Special Council to Elect the 11th
Bishop of Southern Virginia will convene on Saturday, September 21, at
Dinwiddie High School in Dinwiddie. Council will open with Holy
Eucharist at 10 a.m. Complete information about Special Council can be
found here.
Results of each ballot will be posted on the diocesan website, Facebook page, and Instagram.
Information about the candidates can be found here. A recording of the Bishop Candidate Walkabout on September 6 at Bruton Parish, Williamsburg, is available on our YouTube channel.
The recording has been divided into seven shorter videos so that you
can view the opening segment, and the individual candidate segments
separately.
Please hold the Diocese, clergy and lay delegates, and bishop candidates in your prayers.
Almighty and most gracious God, source of all wisdom and
guidance, send your Holy Spirit to guide us as we seek and discern a
shepherd for the Diocese of Southern Virginia. Inspire us with hope,
hearts to love you and a desire to serve one another. Grant us grace
to entrust you with the future of your Church and all things. We ask
in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ Our Lord, who lives and reigns
with you and the Holy Spirit, now and forever. Amen.
