Fort Worth to elect provisional bishop Saturday

The people of the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth will meet tomorrow to continue the process of reorganizing the diocesan structure after their bishop and a large part of the diocese decided to leave the Episcopal Church late last year. The Presiding Bishop will be attending the meeting.

Chief among the tasks of the Special Meeting will be the election of a provisional bishop to help guide the remaining Episcopalians through the process. There is one candidate for the position, Bishop Ted Gulik, the former Bishop of Kentucky.

Thinking Anglicans has an excellent round up of articles that provide background to what is expected to happen at the meeting. You can find the resources here.
