Texas Suffragan Bishop to Chair ETSS Trustees

From The Living Church-

The Rt. Rev. Dena Harrison, Bishop Suffragan of Texas, was recently named chairwoman of the board of trustees for the Seminary of the Southwest, based in Austin, Texas.

Bishop Harrison joined the seminary’s board in 2005 and has served as a member of the finance committee as well as chairwoman of its faculty and education committee. Seminary policy allows the Bishop of Texas, now the Rt. Rev. Andy Doyle (the de facto board chairman), to name someone else.

Bishop Harrison, a 1987 graduate of the seminary, succeeds the Rt. Rev. Don Wimberly, who retired as Bishop of Texas this month. Bishop Harrison has pastoral oversight of congregations in the Austin, Central, Southwest, and Northwest convocations. The diocese plans to dedicate a new regional headquarters on the seminary’s campus in September.
