Bishops, Bishops Everywhere

There are four bishop elections in The Episcopal Church today, in the Dioceses of Atlanta, Rhode Island, Western Massachusetts and Texas.  The first three are electing Diocesan Bishops and Texas will elect a Suffragan.

Please keep all the clergy and people in these dioceses in your prayers today!

Almighty and everlasting Father, you have given the Holy

Spirit to abide with us for ever: Bless, we pray, with his grace

and presence, the bishops and other clergy and the laity

here (or now, or soon to be) assembled in your Name, that

your Church, being preserved in true faith and godly

discipline, may fulfill all the mind of him who loved it and

gave himself for it, your Son Jesus Christ our Savior; who

lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one

God, now and for ever. Amen.
