Dear Members of the Episcopal Diocese of Alaska,
It is with great joy that the Standing Committee present these four candidates for the VIII Bishop of Alaska (see below). We believe that the careful consideration of the Bishop’s Discernment Committee offers us four capable and good choices for our next Bishop. We hope you will carefully read this material about each candidate that is presented on this website. A DVD presentation about each candidate will be available at this site later.
A Nomination by Petition Process is the equivalent to "nominating from the floor" is offered and explained in the "Nomination by Petition" tab above. If you think the candidates offered here do not give a breadth of possibilities, you may nominate another candidate using this process.
We ask that you prayerfully consider the candidates and to pray for our diocese as we consider whom God has called to be the VIII Bishop of Alaska.
Faithfully,
The Rev. Bob Stevens
Standing Committee President, Diocese of Alaska
The Candidates in alphabetical order are:
Almighty God, direct the Diocese of Alaska in our search for a new bishop. Guide the work of our search committees and grant them the ability to discern and communicate those qualities in a bishop that are most needed in our Diocese. Help us to treat the candidates who apply with love and understanding. Care for our Standing Committee as they assume responsibility for the Diocese and keep our hearts always open to direction of the Holy Spirit. In Jesus name we pray. Amen
