Adapted from an Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh announcement

The Anglican Diocese of Pittsburgh has announced an eight-member slate in its election of the Rt. Rev. Robert Duncan’s successor. The diocese will elect the new bishop during a special convention April 22-23 at St. Stephen’s Church, Sewickley.

“We pray that the Holy Spirit will assist the Nominees as they answer questions about themselves and their ministry experience,” the diocese’s standing committee said. “Standardized, written materials will be published shortly after Easter (March 27, 2016). In the meantime, we ask everyone to recall the theme of our discernment process: Prayer, not politics; discernment, not a search.”

The nominees are:

The Rev. Canon Phil Ashey, CEO, American Anglican Council, Atlanta
The Rev. John Paul Chaney, rector, Seeds of Hope Church, Bloomfield, Pennsylvania
The Rev. Canon Paul Donison, rector, St. Peter & St. Paul’s Church, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
The Rev. Bill Driscoll, rector, Church of the Redeemer, Jacksonville, Florida
The Very Rev. Chip Edgar, dean, Church of the Apostles, Columbia, South Carolina
The Rev. Jack Gabig, associate professor of practical theology and director of advanced degree programs at Nashotah House Theological Seminary
The Rev. Jim Hobby, rector, Trinity Church, Thomasville, GA
The Ven. Canon Jack Lumanog, canon to the archbishop and primate, and COO of the Anglican Church in North America

The standing committee said three other priests were nominated but declined the opportunity to stand for election:

The Rev. David Allert, rector, Christ the King Church, St. Augustine, Florida
The Rev. Patrick Dominguez, senior pastor, Church of the Apostles, Raleigh
The Rev John Yates III, rector, Holy Trinity Church, Raleigh
