Timeline
On August 3, 2022, the Standing Committee announced the draft timeline for our bishop search. We intend to elect our new bishop on September 30, 2023, and to hold the Ordination and Consecration of the Tenth Bishop of Southern Ohio in mid-February 2024 or shortly thereafter.
These dates, as well as all the dates in the timeline below, are tentative. The Standing Committee will provide updates as the search process unfolds.
