From New Hampshire-
There was “absolute and immediate Search Committee consensus” around these gifted and experienced priests.
Penny, Rob, and Bill will return to New Hampshire for Meet & Greet gatherings arranged by the Election and Transition Committee on May 1(Exeter High School), May 2 (The Holderness School, Plymouth), and May 3 (St. Paul's School, Concord). On Saturday, May 19th, 2012, the Bishop Coadjutor will be elected by the canonically resident clergy and the elected lay delegates from each of the 47 congregations. Consent to the bishop’s election will be sought at the General Convention of the Episcopal Church in Indianapolis during July.
Katharine Jefferts Schori, Presiding Bishop, is scheduled to consecrate the Bishop Coadjutor on August 4, 2012. On January 5th, 2013, the installation of the Tenth Bishop of New Hampshire will take place at St. Paul’s Church in Concord, New Hampshire.
The Search Committee is profoundly grateful to all who participated in the many phases of this spiritual discernment, and requests prayers for our nominees, their families and congregations, and our Election and Transition Committee.
