Walkabouts/Candidate Conversations to be Virtual

The Bishop Search Transition Committee and the Standing Committee have decided that the Walkabouts/Candidate Conversations held on April 12-14 will be conducted virtually due to ongoing concerns with the COVID-19 pandemic. Traditionally, Walkabouts are a time for the candidates to learn about the diocese, and for the people of the diocese to learn more about the candidates.

Submit Questions for Candidate Conversations: As the process shifts this year to virtual Candidate Conversations, there will be multiple ways for people to remain engaged in the process of electing a new bishop for our diocese. The first such opportunity is to submit questions for the candidates to be asked during the Candidate Conversations.

Questions should not be specific to any particular candidate, but should be able to be asked of all candidates in a panel-like setting. There is no limit to the number of questions that may be submitted by an individual. Members of the Transition Committee will review all questions and determine which questions will be posed to the candidates at the events in April. There will be several online sessions of Candidate Conversations, organized by the four deaneries of our diocese. Details about these sessions will be shared very soon on the Bishop Search Website at this link.

Questions may be submitted to the Transition Committee using this link. All questions should be submitted by Saturday, March 20 at 5 pm.
