The Northeastern Jurisdiction (NEJ) will meet in a virtual special called session on Saturday, Oct. 15, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Delegates from the 10 annual conferences will hear a report from the NEJ Episcopacy Committee, to be delivered by Bishop LaTrelle Easterling, and the NEJ College of Bishops, delivered by Bonnie Marsden, regarding episcopal elections. The delegates will then vote on the number of bishops to elect during the regularly scheduled Jurisdictional Conference. The options before them are to elect between zero and four bishops.
