From The Living Church-
The Diocese of Northern Michigan has nominated three men and one woman in the search for its 11th bishop.
The nominees are:
The Rev. Dr. Susanna E. Metz, a former Roman Catholic religious and executive director of the Center for Ministry in Small Churches at the University of the South.
The Rev. Rayford J. Ray, a 20-year veteran of ministry in Northern Michigan and a member of the diocese’s Episcopal Ministry Support Team.
The Rev. Nigel J. Taber-Hamilton, a native of England and rector of St. Augustine’s-in-the-Woods Church, Freeland, Wash.
The Rev. Jos C. Tharakan, a native of India and rector of All Saints Church in Russellville, Ark.
The diocese’s ninth bishop, the Rt. Rev. James A. Kelsey, died in a car crash in June 2007. The diocese elected a sole nominee, the Rev. Dr. Kevin Thew Forrester, in February 2009, but he did not receive consents from a majority of bishops or standing committees.
The diocese is accepting nominees by petition. Instructions for such nominees are posted on the dioecese’s website [PDF]. The diocese will elect its next bishop Dec. 4 in Escanaba.
