From the LA DioceseStanding Committee invites applications for Bishop Transitions CommitteeBy Judy Stark, consultant to the Bishop Search Committee The Standing Committee is seeking applications from parishioners who would like to serve on the Transitions Committee for the election of the bishop coadjutor of the EpiscopalDiocese of Los Angeles. “This is the team that will introduce the candidates to the diocese and the diocese to the candidates,” said the Rev. Kate Cress, president of the Standing Committee. “We're looking for people with a wide variety of skills in hospitality, event planning, and pastoral care.” An application form will be posted on the diocesan website on March 21. Deadline for applications is April 11. Those selected for the committee — a group of about 10 to 15 — will be expected to attend an opening retreat at St. Paul's Commons on May 3. The Transitions Committee will plan and conduct meet-and-greet sessions around the diocese with the candidates in October and will assist with the election in November and the consecration of the coadjutor-elect in July 2026. “Once the slate is announced in September, the baton passes from the Search Committee to the Transitions Committee,” Cress said. “We need a diverse group of people who are enthusiastic about our diocese, people with experience putting on big events, and people who can provide warm pastoral care to our candidates and their families. We look forward to receiving applications from all around the diocese.” Wednesday Morning Prayer on ZoomDid you know that St James has a midweek online service?
