BTW, are most bishops elected on the first ballot, or does it usually drag on longer?

Congrats to Nick! Last week he was at the Phoenix Comic-con, this week he is elected Bishop. Talk about an emergent Bishop.

Congrats to the bishop-elect.

That is the second first ballot election in the past few weeks.

Congratulations, Dean! Arizona will miss you, but Rhode Island is definitely the winner.
