Appointment of our next Diocesan Bishop
Last week the Electoral Committee met for interviews of the shortlisted candidates. The next stage in the process is for the Electoral Synod to meet with the candidates on February 7th and then a week later undertakes an election. You can find more information about the process on the Bishop Search page of our website: https://edinburgh.anglican.org/bishop-search. Please continue to hold all involved in this process in your prayers.
Please use the following prayer for all involved in this task.
Living God,
you walk with us in all seasons of life
calling us to follow you with joy, hope and love
as we share in your work of renewing the world;
give us humility and discernment to hear your voice,
that those discerning their calling
and all involved in our bishop search
may be encouraged in your ways
and open to your creative Spirit. Amen.
