Bishop's Search Updates
From the Transition Committee – May 2019
The committee met by telephone this past week with all members present. We too are excited to see the slate of candidates for bishop that will be announced by the Diocesan Standing Committee.
Walkabout Committee is finalizing the week of 14-19 July for the bishop candidates to be with diocesan clergy and parishioners at six locations: Whitefish-Columbia Falls, Kalispell, Missoula, Helena, Bozeman and Billings. All members of our diocese are warmly invited to these gatherings. Rev. Kirstin Orr of Livingston is chaplain during this week.
