Bishop Search: Diocesan Profile is Up and Nominations Open

The profile in the search for the 13th Bishop of Rhode Island is complete and posted below as well as at http://www.episcopalrisearch.org/profile .

The Search & Nomination Committee, chaired by Lora MacFall, a member at St. Andrew's in Little Compton, used survey responses from laity and clergy throughout the diocese as well as input from a series of listening sessions to develop the profile. The document outlines the diocese's strengths, challenges, and hopes for the future as well as specific strengths and skills the committee will look for in candidates to become our next bishop.

Nominations are open now through October 28. Interested individuals may nominate themselves or others as candidates. On our website here you'll find an e-Nomination Form and a PDF version for downloading and printing.

The Diocese of Rhode Island will elect its next bishop at a special convention June 2, 2012. The ordination service for the 13th Bishop of Rhode Island will occur November 17, 2012.
