The Council of Trustees, acting as the canonical Standing Committee of the Episcopal Diocese of Kansas, presents to the diocese two priests as candidates for the 10th bishop of the diocese:
- The Rev. Martha N. Macgill, Diocese of Maryland
- The Rev. Helen Svoboda-Barber, Diocese of North Carolina
Nominees may be added by a petition process that closes at 5 p.m. CDT on June 30, 2018.
Members of the diocese will have the chance to meet the candidates in walkabouts scheduled in the diocese for Oct. 2-5; the schedule of events is online.
The election of the next bishop will take place on the first day of Diocesan Convention, Oct. 19, at Grace Cathedral in Topeka. The Service of Ordination and Consecration is scheduled for March 2, 2019, at the cathedral, with Presiding Bishop Michael Bruce Curry officiating.
Here are brief introductions to the candidates; more information about them is on the bishop search website.
