It’s July 1st, and as promised, here are our nominees (in alphabetical order):
Rev. Mark Delcuze, Rector, St. Stephen’s,
Rev. Ian Douglas, Angus Dun Professor of
Assoc. Rector, St. James’s Church,
Rev. Beth Fain, Rector, St. Mary’s Church,
Rt. Rev. James Curry, Bishop Suffragan of
And here is our new web-site, where you can learn all about them: http://www.ctbishopelection.com
We have a plethora of goodies on this site: a biography and essays as well as a picture and video clip to introduce you to each of the candidates. There are also prayers and scripture readings (the same scriptures that we, the search committee studied and prayed over in our meetings), that we encourage all delegates to use as tools to your discernment process as you prepare for the election in October. The site also includes information about the petition process and plans for introducing the candidates to the diocese. Additional information about the candidates, any petition candidates and the election process will be added to the web-site as time goes on.
And this blog will also be continuing. The transition committee will be taking it over. Keep checking back for details on their plans for introducing you to the candidates, the election and the installation.
It has been a great pleasure to serve as a member of the Search and Nomination committee. When we first started in December I knew only two other members and neither of them well. Over the past seven months we have become a community, and while I (and especially my family) am happy that I have my Saturday’s back, I am looking forward to seeing everyone again in October at Diocesan convention, if not sooner at some of the activities introducing the candidates.
I hope that you have enjoyed sharing the nomination process with me through this blog and that you will continue to enjoy it as the transition committee shares their journey with you.
