As Bishop Ken shared during the February 2023 Synod, the DRM has been in a period of discernment for a Suffragan Bishop to assist Bishop Ken in the work of the Diocese. We are pleased to announce the names of the 2 nominees: The Rev. Canon Billy Waters and The Rev. Dr. Ben Fischer.
The person elected by a vote of Clergy & Lay Delegates on December 16, 2023, if approved by the ACNA College of Bishops at their January 8-12 meeting, will be consecrated on February 5, 2024 (during the Monday Eucharist service at the DRM Annual Gathering).
The elected suffragan will serve in this 1/3-time (part-time) role and continue to serve as rector in their churches. Please be in prayer over this process, for each of the nominees, and for the Diocese of the Rocky Mountains.
