Charge to the Search Committee
On Friday evening, March 31, the Standing Committee met with the newly formed Bishop Search Committee and charged this group to "carry out a Spirit filled search, working together to identify no fewer than three and no more than five individuals who clearly desire to be the eleventh Bishop of Mississippi, and who in the Committee's judgment possess the gifts necessary to guide this diocese into the future as the body of Christ in this place." We have full confidence in the abilities of the Search Committee and trust them to carry out this charge with grace, diligence, and prayerfulness.
