Bishops' Conclave to Elect the Next Primate

Beginning on Thursday, June 20th, the bishops of the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) will be gathering in conclave in Latrobe, Pennsylvania to discern and elect the next archbishop (Primate) of the province. Archbishop Foley Beach has served his five year term and now the next primate must be elected. The process could take up to three or four days. (Learn more about bishops' conclaves.)

From our diocese Bishops Dan Gifford, Stephen Leung, Mike Stewart, Charlie Masters, and Trevor Walters will be present and part of the conclave.
