Bishop Search
Bishop Bauerschmidt recently announced his retirement. As we begin the search for our next bishop it is vital that we hear from you. The Search Committee has begun this process in two ways. The first is a series of “Listening Sessions” throughout the diocese. The second is a detailed survey.
Listening Sessions – https://bit.ly/bishop-listening-session-1
November 23, December 4, 6
Please click on the link above, look over the dates and times, and pick a session that will meet your schedule. It is important that you attend one of these. Your input and opinions will be part of our diocesan profile. There are eight different sessions to choose from.
Survey – https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DIOCESEOFTN
The survey is for all canonically resident clergy and active members in a congregation of the Diocese of Tennessee. The survey will be open until Monday, December 1, and takes approximately 15-20 minutes to complete.
