BISHOP SEARCH LISTENING SESSIONS The Search Committee invites you to attend a Listening Session this summer! The purpose of these sessions is simple but deeply important to listen . Your input will help create a Diocesan Profile—an honest, prayerful portrait of who we are, where we’ve been, and who we are called to become. That profile will then be shared with prospective candidates for bishop to help them discern whether they are called to join us in this next chapter of ministry. Questions to Consider: What makes you proud of your church, the diocese, or our mission? What does success look like in the next decade? What strengths are most important for our next bishop—and why? What are your hopes and expectations for our next bishop? What does it mean to be an Episcopalian in Alabama? What are our most important missions?
