(KNSI) – A Reverend from Minnesota is among the nominations to be a Bishop in the Episcopal Church.
The Standing Committee of the Episcopal Diocese of Nevada named the Reverend Canon Robert Two Bulls, Jr., Missioner for the Department of Indian Work and Multicultural Ministries, and Vicar of All Saints Indian Mission in Minneapolis, as one of four candidates for election as the Diocese eleventh bishop.
According to the Diocese of Minnesota, “Two Bulls deep wisdom, pastoral heart, and prophetic voice are a gift to us in Minnesota.”
Church leaders from Alexandria, Virginia; San Jose, California; and Phoenix, Arizona have also been nominated to serve as the new bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Nevada.
Diocese officials said Tuesday that plans call for the 11th Bishop of Nevada to be elected and installed by March 2022 to succeed Bishop Dan Edwards.
Standing Committee President Maggie Davidson says the slate emerged after an extensive search “powered by prayer and connected by Zoom.”
