New York diocese elects the Rev. Canon Andrew M.L. Dietsche as bishop coadjutor

From ENS-

The Rev. Canon Andrew M.L. Dietsche was elected on Nov. 19 as bishop coadjutor of the Episcopal Diocese of New York, pending the required consents from a majority of bishops with jurisdiction and standing committees of the Episcopal Church.

Dietsche, 57, who currently serves as the diocese's canon for pastoral care, was elected on the third ballot out of a field of seven nominees. He received 131 votes of 233 cast in the lay order and 176 of 262 cast in the clergy order. An election on that ballot required 122 in the lay order and 132 in the clergy order.

The election was held during a special convention at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine.

Pending a successful consent process, Dietsche will succeed the Diocesan Bishop Mark S. Sisk, who will retire on or before his 72nd birthday in August 2014.

Under the canons (III.11.4) of the Episcopal Church, a majority of bishops exercising jurisdiction and diocesan standing committees must consent to the bishop-elect's ordination as bishop within 120 days of receiving notice of the election.
