Walkabout for the Election of the 13th Bishop of the Diocese of Alabama

A walkabout in the election process of an Episcopal bishop is a time during which candidates meet with members of the diocesan community to share their vision and answer questions from a moderator. This process allows clergy, lay people, and electing convention delegates to get to know the candidates beyond their credentials, fostering deeper understanding and connection.

The walkabout for the election will take place on Saturday, January 3, at 1:00 p.m. at Saint Luke’s Church (3736 Montrose Road, Mountain Brook, AL 35213). Clergy and certified delegates will be guaranteed seating in the Nave and any remaining seats will be allocated in the Nave to others that come after clergy and delegates are seated.

The event will also live-streamed (https://www.youtube.com/live/UaQqwnAUc9Y) on the diocesan YouTube page, and a recording of the proceedings will be made available across diocesan communication channels after the event.
