Episcopal Nominations Team

Earlier this year, Bishop Clark announced his retirement, setting the Diocese of the Western Gulf Coast on a journey to elect a new Diocesan Bishop. The first step on that journey, according to the DWGC Canons, was forming an Episcopal Nominations Team (ENT), which the Synod accomplished on May 17, 2025. This team is responsible for drafting a Diocesan Profile, building the application process, reviewing nominees/candidates, and presenting to the Diocesan Council a list of finalists. The members of the ENT are listed below.
