From Eastern Oregon-The Rev. Patrick Bell was elected the seventh bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Eastern Oregon Dec. 12 at Church of the Redeemer in Pendleton.
Bell was one of three finalist from a pool of 16.
The new bishop is a seventh-generation Eastern Washingtonian and comes from a long farming tradition.
He was raised Episcopalian and attended Whitworth College, a Presbyterian school in Spokane. He received a master’s in theology from Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California, and served as a Pentecostal minister. In time, he returned to the Episcopal Church.
“I realized I wasn’t a fundamentalist,” Bell said.
