This Week: Meet the Next Bishop of California

This week, the nominees for Bishop of California will be making the rounds of the Diocese, learning about us, and giving us a chance to get to know them better. Meetings scheduled in each of the Deaneries -- called Walkabouts -- are opportunities to present your questions and to hear the nominees' responses. Several of the Walkabouts will have Spanish translation, and all will offer childcare. 

The Walkabouts are open only to members of congregations in the Diocese of California, and are the only opportunity to hear from all of the nominees in one place. You are encouraged to attend the Walkabout in your deanery, but you may attend any (and as many) of the Walkabouts you wish. It is recommended that electors, alternates, and clergy attend, and all parishioners of churches in the Diocese may also attend. No photography, filming, or recording of any kind will be allowed at the Walkabouts.

To learn more about the Walkabouts, read The Walkabouts FAQ, posted at BishopSearch.org. The schedule is below.
