Alaska Bishop Search Blog

I happen to think the profile completed for the Diocese of Alaska is a work of beauty, warmth, and caring. I am so pleased to see it and will print it in color when I get to my office.    John Crittenden

In our Diocesan Profile, did the Search Committee adequately reflect the feelings of your Deanery? Is there something you would like added about your particular Deanery?

I am anticipating the placement of the Diocesan Profile and the applications for Bishop on this website, promised to arrive shortly.  I have had the opportunity to review the draft recently and expect the final form to be informative, picturesque, and edifying.  Can’t wait!!  Good Luck to Clarence and the committee in the final completion and prayers for the publisher in the final assembly effort and placement on the website.  Prayers for Betsey Greeland in the announcement at the national deployment office.  Also, anticipation for the interest surely to be coming in for the position of Bishop of our wonderful community.

EVERYONE’S prayers are needed during the entire process to come!!!

Please share your visions for the Diocese on this site, particularly if you have not had the opportunity to express your ideas in the previous venues.

I know your time line was to have the draft nominee questions and nomination forms  completed.  How is that coming along?

Dear Members of the Search Committee

Just finished the meeting of the Standing Committee with your Chairs.  I wanted to thank you for the work you have completed so far.  I appreciate you efforts to listen to everyone during this process and then put together a comprehensive profile.  You are doing the Diocese great work.  Keep it up.

Hi Everyone,

As a discussion starter I would like to hear a few comments from the Search Committee on how the information they received at our 2007 convention has informed their process. Were they surprised at the level of popular support for the idea of including in our ultimate plan suffragan bishop(s)?
