A Morning of Dialogue

The Search Committee recently participated in a workshop from our Diocesan Facilitators for Racial Healing.

It was an incredibly transformative "Morning of Dialogue" done to bring us closer to the church's mission of reconciling the world to God. Thanks to Andy Andrews and all the facilitators for their work!

Their next workshop is at St. Philip's Episcopal Church in Jackson on Saturday, January 13.


Meeting June 22

The Search Committee meet on June 22 at Chapel of the Cross and on zoom to go through the survey results. 

The committee will present a summary of the results to the Standing Committee and the Diocese on Saturday June 24. 

Bishop Search Survey Complete!

Thanks for helping the search committee reach its goal of getting to 1k responses!  We are so thankful you shared your hopes and dreams for our next Bishop and your feedback will be invaluable to the next steps in our process.
