A message from the Rt Rev Andrew Swift, Acting Bishop of Glasgow & Galloway:
“The election of a new Bishop is a vital part of the life and ministry of a Scottish Episcopal diocese. As you say farewell to Bishop Kevin, please keep in prayer him and Elspeth and all those who will be part of the process to discern his successor.
“The Electoral Synods with representatives from all the churches of the Diocese, the Preparatory Committee which will seek candidates, the Diocesan Officers, and support staff who will make everything run smoothly: please pray for them all.
“And please especially pray for all those clergy who might be willing to discern over the next months if they may have a call to be the next Bishop of Glasgow and Galloway.”
You can read about the Episcopal vacancy process over the coming weeks and the actions required to support it on the Diocesan website.
