Profile
In Our Own Words
The Search Committee for the 11th Bishop of the Diocese of Nevada is seeking a courageous leader for this diverse, unique and exceptional place we call home.
As we re-engaged our search process, we were met with the pandemic. However we found another way to connect with our widespread diocesan family – Zoom! Our information gathering phase targeted each mission district, Spanish-speaking congregations and clergy, with nine Listening Sessions on Zoom, and 379 online and mail-in surveys. These sessions focused on How you see God at work in the diocese; What challenges we face together; and What we seek in our next Bishop.
The answers reflect the optimism as well as the concerns of Episcopalians throughout Nevada. This valuable, heartfelt input guided the Search Committee in preparing the diocesan profile that defines what is needed and desired in candidates who feel called to be Nevada’s new faith leader.
The following are verbatim responses from Nevada Episcopalians to a series of questions asked during a diocesan-wide listening sessions. They present a portrait of who we are, a representation of our diocese. Read prayerfully. Imagine yourself taking a walk with the Spirit that lives within us, guiding you to consider Her call. Get to know us and get to know yourself as you take this walk. Then decide if you desire to walk with us into the Spirit’s plan for the Diocese of Nevada.
