For the first time in memory, a bishop has been named as one of the closest advisors to the president of the House of Deputies. “Bishop Sean Rowe of the Diocese of Northwestern Pennsylvania has generously agreed to sit on my council and foster closer collaboration between the two houses of General Convention,” said House of Deputies President Gay Clark Jennings.
“Bishop Rowe is a courageous leader, an expert in organizational development, and a good friend,” said Jennings. “He is also the youngest bishop in the church, and I will rely on his counsel as we restructure the church for the 21st century. I am grateful for his willingness to serve.”
Other members of the newly appointed Council of Advice include:
Vince Currie, Diocese of the Central Gulf Coast
Mike Glass, Diocese of California
Bryan Krislock, Diocese of Olympia
Sally Johnson, Diocese of Minnesota
Tom Little, Diocese of Vermont
Byron Rushing, Diocese of Massachusetts
Gregory Straub, Diocese of Easton
Winnie Varghese, Diocese of New York
