NEW ORLEANS (AP) - The field for the next bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana has been narrowed to six candidates, and includes an Australian priest, a former Roman Catholic priest and the bishop of North Dakota.
The diocese announced on Thursday that the candidates - who were nominated by local clergy and lay people - are all white and all married men with children.
1 of the candidates will succeed Bishop Charles Jenkins, who will retire at the end of the year.
After a series of public receptions introducing the candidates in November, the diocese's clergy, with lay representatives, will elect 1 of the six as Louisiana's 11th Episcopal bishop in balloting Dec. 5 at Christ Church Cathedral.
