Members of the Diocese of Pittsburgh’s Search/Nominating Committee write that they will receive names until September 30, and add:
Our recommendations for a slate of nominees will be submitted to the Standing Committee before January 15, 2012. Following the publication of that slate, there will be a three-week period for nomination by petition before the slate is final.
The Standing Committee and the Transition Committee have set March 19-24, 2012, as dates for the final slate of candidates for bishop to visit the diocese in the traditional “walk-abouts.” The Special Convention to elect the next bishop will be held on Saturday, April 21, 2012, at Trinity Cathedral.
