Beloved in Christ,
At the Diocesan Synod (Oct. 16-18) a man will be elected as the Bishop Coadjutor. He will serve as the assistant bishop to +Peter Manto until Bhp. Manto retires. This is a very important election for the future of our Diocese. Below, you will find information about the candidates.
Information on the three candidates:
Very Rev. Jason Grote:
Rev. Gregory Miller:
Rev. Dr. Gregory Peters:
Please pray for the three candidates who will stand for election. Please pray for wisdom for Fr. Jonathan & Fr. Eric as clergy, and Andy Kuniholm & Steve Mouton as lay delegates, as they prayerfully consider their votes during the election at the Synod in October.
Prayer for those to be admitted into Holy Orders:
“ALMIGHTY God, who has purchased to thyself an universal Church by the precious blood of they dear Son; Mercifully look upon the same, and at this time so guide and govern the minds of they servants the Bishops and Pastors of they flock, that they may lay hands suddenly on no man, but faithfully and wisely make choice of fit persons, to serve in the sacred Ministry of thy Church. And to those who shall be ordained to any holy function, give they grace and heavenly benediction; that both by their life and doctrine they may show forth thy glory, and set forward the salvation of all men; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”
