Landscape Assessment for the Diocese of Western North Carolina
A Request from the Diocesan Bishop Search Committee
Dear Siblings in Christ,
During this season of transition, our diocese continues to rely on the guidance of the Holy Spirit as we begin the process of looking for our next bishop. We are entering a time of discernment where we listen to God’s call in our lives and our community. Part of this discernment is looking at where we are at this place in time and where we would like to be in the future. Please follow this link to the Landscape Survey.
Thank you for being a part of this process, and for your time, your thoughts, and your continued prayers. Please email us at BishopSearch@diocesewnc.org with any questions.
