 | Robert C. Johnson, Jr.

The 10th Bishop of North Carolina, the Rt. Rev. Robert Carroll Johnson, Jr., died on Friday, January 3, 2014. We give God thanks for a good, honorable, decent Christian man who served among us as faithful priest and bishop.
A private man, we remember and honor him by revisiting the vision he shared during his first address as bishop. Read his memorial.

- From the Episcopal Church:
- In 2012, the General Convention expressed its desire that the Episcopal Church Center be moved out of its current building in New York City. The Executive Council Subcommittee on the Location of the Episcopal Church Center has issued a survey and is inviting Episcopalians to offer their input. Deadline for completing the survey is January 19, 2014.
