From Mississippi-

The Episcopal Diocese in Mississippi will meet Saturday to vote on its 10th bishop during the 187th Annual Council, and two people with Coast connections are among the five candidates.

The election will be held at the Cathedral Church of St. Andrew in Jackson.

The Rev. Marian Dulaney Fortner, rector at Trinity Episcopal Church in Hattiesburg, is married to Tom Fortner, former public defender in Jackson County, and the Very Rev. Brian Seage, rector at St. Columb's Episcopal Church in Ridgeland, served at St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Diamondhead from 1997 to 2005.
