Dear Sisters and Brothers of our Diocese,


On December 31, the nomination period for candidates to be considered for the 12th Bishop of the Diocese of Louisiana closed.


Your Search Committee is pleased to announce that we have an exceptional group of qualified candidates.  We will continue to learn about and evaluate the applicants through both written questionnaires and an extended group retreat.  We will present our recommendation, for the slate to be placed upon the election ballot, to the Standing Committee by the final week in March.


Yours in Christ,
The Reverend Jay Albert and Carolyn Douglas
