Lousiana's bishop-elect

From the Diocese of Louisiana:

The Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana elected The Very Rev. Morris Thompson, as the 11th Bishop of Louisiana today at Christ Church Cathedral, New Orleans. Thompson was one of six final candidates voted on by clergy and lay representatives from every congregation in the diocese. Thompson succeeds the Rt. Rev. Charles E. Jenkins who has served since 1997 and announced his retirement effective January 2010.

Rev. Thompson (bio) (resume) currently lives in Lexington, Kentucky with his wife, Rebecca. He serves as the Dean of Christ Church Cathedral. He and Rebecca have two children, Virginia and Trey.

GrandmèreMimi is thrilled.

I am thrilled! Fr. Morris was my first choice after I attended the walkabouts to meet the candidates. He has a splendid biography and comes well-recommended.

Thanks be to God!

Well, Mimi, that's certainly all *I* need to know. ;-) TBTG!
