Please email comments to letters@livingchurch.org.

Adapted from the Diocese of Los Angeles

The Diocese of Los Angeles has posted an eight-page profile [PDF] and will accept nominations until Jan. 15 as it searches for a bishop coadjutor. The diocese’s convention that meets on Dec. 2-3, 2016, will elect the bishop coadjutor.

Individuals may nominate themselves or be nominated by any adult (16 years or older) communicant of the Episcopal Church in good standing. By diocesan canon, a nominee must be an ordained priest, at least 30 years of age, to be consecrated a bishop.

The search committee expects to announce nominees by September 2016. The Rt. Rev. J. Jon Bruno, Bishop of Los Angeles since 2000, will retire in November 2018 and the bishop coadjutor will succeed him.
