From San Joaquin-
The new bishop of the Diocese of San Joaquin will meet the congregation at St. John's Episcopal Church, where he will preside at both services on Sunday.
The Rt. Rev. Chester Talton, who became bishop during the first week of March, replaces Jerry Lamb, the diocese's first bishop after the diocese split two years ago when Episcopal Church USA appointed V. Eugene Robinson, an openly gay man, as bishop of the New Hampshire Diocese.
It was a bitter divorce, and Talton said in a phone interview Thursday that his goal is to rebuild and strengthen the diocese. Although St. John's is a large church, several in the diocese are very small and don't even conduct services in church buildings.
