Bishop Search Listening Session Dates Announced

The Rev. Dr. Philip Linder, Chair of the Search Committee, has shared the following message regarding the planned Listening Sessions that will begin the search for the 15th Bishop of the Diocese of South Carolina:

This is an exciting and hope-filled time in the Diocese of South Carolina! The Standing Committee has announced its decision to move forward with a search for our next Diocesan Bishop, and has appointed the Bishop Search Committee whose work has already begun. 

As part of the process of discerning what we, as a diocese, are looking for in our next bishop, we have planned for a series of Deanery Listening Sessions so that your input can be included in the Diocesan profile. The hope is that faithful Episcopalians in every parish and mission in the diocese will take time to attend one of these Listening Sessions, so that the Diocesan profile will accurately portray our identity as Episcopalians from across the Diocese.

Please mark your calendars and plan to attend one or more of the Listening Sessions along with Search Committee members!
