Diocese of Dallas announces bishop coadjutor slate
[Diocese of Dallas] The Bishop Coadjutor Search Committee of the Episcopal Diocese of Dallas on March 4 announced a slate of three candidates for the diocese’s bishop coadjutor.
They are:
- The Rev. William Carroll, rector of Trinity Episcopal Church in Longview, Texas;
- The Rt. Rev. Fraser Lawton, bishop assistant in the Diocese of Dallas and rector of the Church of St. Dunstan in Mineola, Texas;
- The Very Rev. Rob Price, dean of St. Matthew’s Cathedral in Dallas, Texas.
The candidates will participate in five meet-and-greet sessions around the diocese from April 1–4. The electing convention is scheduled for May 3 at St. Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church in Dallas.
No date has been announced for the consecration of the bishop coadjutor, who will serve alongside Dallas Bishop George Sumner until his retirement. The bishop coadjutor then will become the eighth bishop of Dallas. Sumner has been bishop since November 2015.
The release of the slate also marks the beginning of the petition process. That process will close at noon Central time on March 11.
