DIOCESE OF GLASGOW AND GALLOWAY
Scottish Episcopal Church
From the Interim Bishop: The Most Revd Mark
Strange
6 th November 2018
My Dear Friends in Glasgow and Galloway,
Following the meeting of the Electoral Synod at Holy Trinity and St
Barnabas, Paisley, the Preparatory Committee met and finalised the dates
for the work they are undertaking.
The process will move forward with an Advert asking for nominations to be
sent to the Primus by 26 th November, this advert will appear on the Diocesan
Website, The Provincial Website and the website and paper copy of the
Church Times. The preparatory committee will then meet in Glasgow on the
1 st of December to review the applications received and to move to the next
stage of the process.
I would like to remind everyone in the Diocese that you are all permitted to
nominate someone, the nomination requires to be signed by the person
nominating as well as by the person nominated. Please note that nomination
does not mean the person will be called to interview, so please keep the
nomination confidential so that the person you may consider to be a possible
Bishop is protected, at this stage, from the gaze of the wider church. (This
should be notified through the weekly notices at each congregation)
Please continue to pray for the Preparatory committee as it undertakes its
work.
Blessings
+Mark
