The Nominating Committee was given its charge from the Standing Committee while gathered on Aug. 12, 2023, at the Church of the Redeemer in Chestnut Hill. Members, pictured from left, are: Nick Myers, Michael Bent, Christopher Fike, Ema Rosero-Nordalm, Kim Garrison, Billy Boyce, Olivia Jaynes, Linda Ouellette, Diane Wong, David Sullivan, Claudette Hunt, Sarah Mato, Joseph Mumita, Derrick Muwina and Clark Warner.
The Nominating Committee will shepherd the diocese through the initial phase of the bishop election process by conducting listening sessions and surveys, creating a diocesan profile, soliciting and vetting applications, and finally presenting a slate of candidates to the Standing Committee. A Transition Committee will then steer the next phase of the election process.
