(Delegates and voting clergy, please arrive early to ensure a seat.)
All attendees, especially voting clergy and delegates,
are urged to read each candidate's biography, resume and, if applicable, responses
to Search Committee questions posted on the Search website, www.mnbishopsearch.org, before attending the meetings.
Walkabout format
Each of the candidates will be afforded a brief opening
and closing statement and will answer pre-submitted questions for about 15 minutes.
A brief reception, hosted locally, will follow. Candidates will be available during the
reception to meet and greet attendees.
Submitting questions
We invite questions from all
people with an
interest in the Episcopal Church in Minnesota, but especially want to encourage youth, children, youth groups, and Sunday school classes to participate. Guidelines for questions are available on the Search Committee blog, www.mnbishopsearchepiscopal.wordpress.com.
Questions will be accepted beginning today through October 15 at 5 pm. Submit questions by email to the Reverend Michele Morgan
at revmichelemorgan@gmail.com,

questions just prior to each walkabout meeting.
Communications
If possible, each walkabout will be webcast and podcast through the diocesan website for later viewing or for group review within communities. Written materials covering the walkabouts will be prepared as bulletin inserts for Sunday, October 25 and distributed via email and the diocesan website.
