HOLY LISTENING SESSION FOR BISHOP SEARCH/NOMINATING SEARCH/NOMINATING COMMITTEE:
Tuesday, February 19
7 PM, the Great Hall.
The Diocese of Missouri elects its Eleventh Bishop in 2019. It is important to make our hopes and concerns known to the Bishop Search and Nominating Committee so the best candidates can be put forward.
Please, it is important to take the survey AND participate in our community’s Holy Listening Session. The survey is anonymous, and its results will outline an overall picture of the Diocese. The Holy Listening Sessions will paint in the specific hopes of the various congregations. Weather permitting, the Holy Listening Sessions have been well-attended. However, out of more than 11,000 Episcopalians in our Diocese, to date fewer than 200 have responded to the survey.
A team from the Bishop Search and Nominating Committee will visit your parish to listen to what you have to say. The link to the survey can be found at
http://diocesemo.org/bishopsearch.
Anyone affiliated with the Diocese or on their Faith journey with us can respond to the survey.
The survey closes on February 25!
The Holy Listening Session for CSMSG is scheduled for Tuesday, February 19 at 7 PM in the Great Hall. Please make every effort to be present so that every voice is heard.
The Bishop Search/Nominating Committee is committed to receiving as much input as possible about how people in our congregations and ministry groups see our diocese, the work of the Episcopal Church in Missouri, and what you hope for and think we need in a new Bishop. The committee is beginning this process with conversations in every congregation. This time together will last 90 minutes.
Here are two questions to ponder ahead of the Session:
• Tell us one thing that you would like a new Bishop to know about your parish. Who is The Church of St. Michael & St. George in your community?
• Jump ahead to ten years from now. What accomplishments do you hope the new Bishop will have led us to?
