On April 3, 2023, the Committee on Nominations for Bishop (“DCN”) submitted their Concluding Report, pursuant to Canon 5.4.F.viii of the Canons of the Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic (“DOMA”). 

On Saturday, January 28, 2023 at Truro Anglican Church in Fairfax, VA, people from all over the Diocese and Province gathered to give God glory and to thank +John and Meg for their ministry.

I am delighted to report that today the College of Bishops of the Anglican Church in North America, meeting this week in Melbourne, Florida, voted to consent to the election of the Rev. Chris Warner to be the second Bishop of the Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic.

The clergy and lay delegates of the Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic (DOMA) elected on the second ballot the Rev. Chris Warner as Bishop-Elect during a special electing Synod at All Saints’ Church in Woodbridge, VA.

Enjoy photos from the Prayer Gathering, Eucharist, and Bishop Election.

As part of the process leading to the election of our next bishop, the candidates participated in two events on September 27 and 28 (called “Walkabouts”), where they participated in a live Q&A session with delegates to the DOMA.

Prayer, in God’s Kingdom, always comes first.

Will you join us in praying for our next Bishop and for the people and processes necessary to identify and call him to the Diocese?

On Sept. 14, 2021, Bishop John Guernsey called for the Diocese to begin the process leading to the election and consecration of his successor and to his retirement. Watch the announcement below or download the letter here.
