Electing the 11th Bishop of Edmonton

This week in the electoral process

The Rev. Shelly King

May 24, 2021

There is a lot going on this week in the process for electing the 11th Bishop of Edmonton, but most of it is happening behind the scenes. Those who have allowed their names to stand for nomination have until May 29 to submit their CV, and to provide their answers to all the questions posed by the Diocesan Search Committee in the Diocesan Profile (also known as the Memorandum). As that information comes in, the search committee continues its work of assessing each candidate to be sure the requirements in the profile are met. Please visit the 67th Synod section of the diocesan website for complete information on the process, and a timeline of events.
