Seven lay, two clergy members elected to Executive Council


From ENS (I was elected to a six year term)

The House of Deputies on July 10 elected seven lay and two clergy members to serve on the Episcopal Church’s Executive Council. The bishops on July 11 concurred with the deputies’ elections.

Lay members elected for six-year terms are Joseph S. Ferrell of North Carolina, Anita P. George of Mississippi, Fredrica Harris Thompsett of Massachusetts, Karen Ann Longenecker of the Rio Grande, Nancy Wonderlich Koonce of Idaho, and John Johnson of Washington, D.C. One lay member, Elizabeth L. Anderson of Connecticut, was elected for three years to complete the term of a member who resigned.

Clergy members elected for six-year terms are the Rev. Susan B. Snook from the Diocese of Arizona and the Rev. James B. Simons from the Diocese of Pittsburgh.

General Convention does not elect provincial representatives to Executive Council.
Earlier in the week, the House of Bishops elected David Bailey of Navajoland and Clifton Daniel of East Carolina to serve as the episcopal members of Executive Council.
