From ENS-
The Episcopal Diocese of New York has selected two priests, two cathedral deans and one bishop to stand for election as bishop coadjutor.
The nominees are:
the Very Rev. Peter Eaton, 53, dean of St. John's Cathedral in Denver, Colorado;
the Rev. Cathy Hagstrom George, 55, priest-in-charge of St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Dorchester, Massachusetts;
the Rev. Canon John T. W. Harmon, 47, rector at Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington, D.C.;
the Very Rev. Tracey Lind, 57, dean of Trinity Cathedral in Cleveland, Ohio; and
the Rt. Rev. Pierre Whalon, 58, bishop-in-charge of the Convocation of Episcopal Churches in Europe.
The election will be held on Oct. 29 and the consecration is scheduled for March 12, 2012, both at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York.
"We believe the guidance of the Holy Spirit has been truly present as evidenced by the quality of the nominees we are presenting to the diocese. Each of them is remarkable," the committee to elect a bishop said in its Aug. 29 report. "While they do not share the same story or journey, they all share of the One Body and the One Spirit. We are honored that all five of them have agreed to stand for election."
Seven meetings from Oct. 11-14 will be held for members of the diocese to become acquainted with the nominees. Biographical information about the five candidates is available here. The diocese will accept nominations by petition until Sept. 15, according to the release.
