Mississippi Episcopalians have elected a rector from Ridgeland to become the next bishop of Mississippi.

The Very Rev. Brian R. Seage of St. Columb’s Episcopal Church was chosen Saturday over four other nominees, one from Hattiesburg and the others from North Carolina, Missouri and Colorado. If confirmed, he will succeed the Rt. Rev. Duncan M. Gray III in February, when Gray retires.

The Episcopal Diocese of Mississippi says Saturday’s election took five ballots. It was held at St. Andrew’s Cathedral in Jackson.
