How N.C.'s next Episcopal bishop will be chosen

From East Carolina-

In the last few weeks, a group of four men and one woman wearing white clerical collars have been on a spiritual road trip of sorts, meeting hundreds of people in Southeastern North Carolina.

With each person they met, the questions followed them – is he (or she) the one?

The four are candidates to be the eighth bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of East Carolina. They are: the Rev. Mimi Lacy, rector of St. Timothy's Episcopal Church in Greenville and the only candidate from the diocese; the Rev. David Pfaff, Canon to the Ordinary for the Bishop of Milwaukee; the Rev. Robert Skirving, rector of St. John's Episcopal Church in Midland, Mich.; and the Rev. Stephen Smith, rector of St. Patrick's Episcopal Church in Dublin, Ohio.

The diocesan Special Convention to elect the next bishop will be Saturday, May 17, at Christ Episcopal Church in New Bern. You can watch the election results live at http://www.ecdio.org/election.html.
