Standing Committee

Welcome to the webpage for the Standing Committee of the Episcopal Diocese of the Rio Grande.

As the Diocese enters into a search for our 9th Bishop, the Standing Committee will use this space to update the diocese on our process and progress during this interim time.

Please click on the updates below for further information. We would also ask everyone to keep the diocese, this process, and the diocesan leaders in your prayers!

A Prayer for the Election of a Bishop (Book of Common Prayer page 818)
Almighty God, giver of every good gift: Look graciously on your Church, and so guide the minds of those who shall choose a bishop for this Diocese, that we may receive a faithful pastor, who will care for your people and equip us for our ministries; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
