From The Living Church-
The Rt. Rev. Rayford B. High, Jr., one of two bishops suffragan in the Diocese of Texas, will retire in January.
The Rt. Rev. Andrew Doyle C. Andrew Doyle has announced that, with the approval of the diocese’s standing committee, he will appoint an assisting bishop to succeed Bishop High. Bishop Doyle will ask the Diocesan Council to approve his selection.
Bishop High, who turns 70 in January, announced his retirement at the annual diocesan clergy conference Oct. 25. He was consecrated in October 2003. The Rt. Rev. Dena A. Harrison has served as the diocese’s other bishop suffragan since October 2006.
Bishop High said that being a bishop suffragan has blessed him and his wife, Pat.
“Each day I offer thanks to the Lord for calling me into ministry, first as deacon, then priest, and now as bishop,” Bishop High said. “I am deeply humbled by God’s call and God’s continuing strength and presence in my life and ministry. What a blessing it has been for me, Pat and my family to service Christ and Christ’s Church and people.”
