It is an exciting time for our diocese. With the recent election of Fr. David Sibley as Bishop-elect, the Standing Committee and Transition Committee now turn their attention to the details of the Ordination of our next bishop.

Because of scheduling conflicts with the Presiding Bishop's office, we have agreed to set the date and time for the Ordination as January 23, 2027, at 10 a.m., at Christ Church Cathedral, Lexington. Please put this on your calendars and share the date!
