New Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church

It was a joy to be present today as the House of Deputies confirmed the House of of Bishops election of Bp Michael Curry of the Diocese of North Carolina as our new Presiding Bishop. Bp Curry will lead us over the next nine years, nurturing the bishops and dioceses of The Episcopal Church and also be the face of our Province of the Anglican Communion to the rest of the world. Please keep B Curry in your prayers for the work ahead and also pray for the three other candidates who also put their hearts, souls and lives before us for discernment in this process: Bp Dabney Smith of Southwest Florida, Bp Tom Beidenthal of Southern Ohio, and Bp Ian Douglas of Connecticut. Bp Curry will move into 815 Second Avenue, the executive offices and living quarters of our PB. In other provinces of the Anglican Communion this position is called “Archbishop.” #gc2015 #gc78 #presidingbishop #anglicancommunion #episcopal #pb27
