The Episcopal Diocese of Southern Ohio gives thanks for the life and ministry of our ninth bishop diocesan, the Rt. Rev. Thomas E. Breidenthal. Bishop Breidenthal died yesterday evening surrounded by his family. He was 75.
Bishop White shares, “Tom Breidenthal’s ministry in this diocese was marked by wisdom and theological commitment. He challenged people throughout the diocese to think more deeply, to love more fully, and to follow Christ more faithfully—a witness to the transformational power of life in Jesus Christ. I am deeply grateful for his life and witness and for the care he shared with me, personally. I join with people across this diocese and the wider Church in commending him to God’s eternal care.”
