Listening Sessions

Attention: Due to Hurricane Ida, the Listening Session schedule has been revised. Zoom sessions are scheduled for September 28th, September 30th, and October 3 via Zoom. More information below.

The Search & Nominating Committee for the next Bishop of Louisiana wants to hear from you! Our diocesan profile needs to articulate who we are as a diocese and where God is calling us to go. We will share this profile with the wider Church and prospective bishop candidates. Your input is an important part of assembling the profile. 

The schedule of listening sessions has been revised in the aftermath of Hurricane Ida. The committee has determined that it is not feasible to hold further in-person sessions. Instead, we are offering three online Zoom (online) sessions. Within the sessions, the moderators will move participants into small breakout groups for discussions. If you do not have computer access, you can dial in and participate by phone.
