Standing Committee Announces 13th Bishop Search Committee Members

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
With prayer and specific inspiration from the Holy Spirit, your Standing Committee has selected the following to serve on the Search Committee for the Thirteenth Bishop of Alabama. In making each selection, the Standing Committee solicited input from Carpenter House and many others across the Diocese. The Search Committee includes clergy, laity, men, and women, with attention to racial, geographic, LGBTQ, and political diversity. All of our first choices accepted. Please pray deeply for the Search Committee members as they begin their work.
