We are electing the 8th Bishop of Alaska
Welcome to the Bishop Search website for the 8th Bishop for the Episcopal Diocese of Alaska. Members of Alaska's 48 Episcopal congregations share the Gospel of Our Lord from tiny subsistence villages to major metropolitan centers. The Diocese of Alaska covers the entire state of Alaska, a landmass of 586,412 square miles. Most of it is still untouched wilderness, a frontier filled with awesome beauty and inexpressible faith.
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
—Prayer from the Standing Committee to be used by congregations during search for 8th Bishop of the The Episcopal Diocese of Alaska
