We opened this morning with A Votive Mass of the Holy Spirit and hymn #531, Like the Murmer of the Dove’s Song. Assisting Bishop Jerry Lamb asked that we be open to the Holy Spirit, to ask, seek, and knock (Luke 11:9-13) and find God’s will.
After Eucharist, Jim Kelly gave instructions regarding the election process, and JoAnn Roberts Armstead reported on attendance: of 151 lay delegates, 145 are present, and of 67 clergy delegates, 65 are present. A quorum was declared, and Jill Beesley introduced the candidates.
The floor opened for the first ballot at 10:56 am. To be elected, a candidate must receive 33 votes from clergy delegates and 73 votes from lay delegates.
