From ELO-
Retiring Diocese of Kentucky Bishop Edwin "Ted" F. Gulick Jr. will become assistant bishop in the Diocese of Virginia next year.
Virginia Bishop Shannon Johnston announced the appointment on July 15.
"As I met with the Standing Committee to discuss this appointment, we all sensed a profound call in the intersection of Bishop Gulick's deep roots in this diocese, his gifts and passion for his continuing ministry, and our common sense of how he can complement and support the vision for ministry here," Johnston said in the announcement.
A native Virginian, Gulick grew up as a member of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, Catlett, and attended St. George's Camp at the diocese's Shrine Mont, where he later served as a staff member. He received a bachelor’s degree from Lynchburg College and a Master of Divinity degree from Virginia Theological Seminary.
Gulick became the seventh bishop of the Diocese of Kentucky in 1994. He was a nominee for presiding bishop in 2006.
Gulick served as provisional bishop to the continuing Diocese of Forth Worth from February 2009 until Nov. 16, 2009 when retired Diocese of Northwest Texas Bishop C. Wallis Ohl was elected to succeed him.
Gulick will begin his ministry in Virginia on Jan. 1, 2011 and will assume a full schedule of visitations, as well as focusing particularly on pastoral care and response, especially for clergy and their families, Johnston said.
