Episcopal Diocese of West Missouri Bishop Search

As faithful Christians, Episcopalians and members of the Diocese of West Missouri, we are continuing the search for our eighth bishop.

Photo of the bishop's crozierOur previous bishops have helped lead us out of the Midwestern frontier and into the twenty-first century.  Our next bishop will build on what we have accomplished to help us better serve Christ and his people.

The Search and Nomination Committee thanks all who submitted information, those who assisted in the process and those who offered prayers and other support.

The next important event will be the candidates' walkabouts and forums.  These are scheduled for sometime in October.  Check in with the website and/or Facebook group for more details as they are scheduled.  (You can be a fan of our Facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Diocese-of-West-Missouri-Bishop-Search/429662345203.  The updates here and there are the same.)

Please join us as we look ahead to great days ahead as part of the body of Christ.
