The election of a bishop is a process of prayer, listening, discernment, and community participation. Over the coming months, the Episcopal Diocese of Alaska will listen together, develop a diocesan profile, invite and discern candidates, and ultimately gather to elect our ninth bishop.
This page provides an overview of the process and will be updated as the search progresses.
