The Diocesan Transition Committee has finalized the format for the 10th Bishop candidate walk about meetings in August. Meetings will be held at Saint Thomas, Savannah on August 26, Saint Paul’s Albany on August 27 and Good Shepherd, Augusta, on August 28. All meetings will begin at 6 p.m. Priority seating will be given to voting clergy and delegates to the electing convention, between 5:15 pm and 5:45 pm each evening. Other members of the Diocese are welcome to attend up to the capacity of the venue. The election convention is slated for September 12 in Dublin.

Each of the six candidates will be afforded a brief opening and closing statement and will answer questions for about 20 minutes each. Questions must be submitted by email to The Reverend James Parker at parker.j@comcast.net or by postal mail to 402 East 46^th Street, Savannah, GA 31406.

There will also be an opportunity to submit written questions just prior to each meeting.

A brief reception, following each meeting, will be hosted by convocation churches. Candidates will be available during the reception to meet and greet attendees.

All attendees –especially voting clergy and delegates are urged to read each candidate’s biography, listen to their video presentations and read their responses to questions posted on the Diocesan website before attending the meetings.
