EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTS THE REV A. ROBERT HIRSCHFIELD

From Episcopal News Service:
The Rev. A. Robert Hirschfeld was elected on May 19 as bishop coadjutor of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire.

Hirschfeld, 51, rector of Grace Episcopal Church in Amherst, Massachusetts (Diocese of Western Massachusetts), was elected on the first ballot out of a field of three nominees. The election was held at St. Paul’s Church in Concord.

Because the election occurred close in time to the 77th meeting of the General Convention in July, Episcopal Church canons provide (in Canon III.11.3) for the required consents to be sought from the bishops and deputies at convention.
Blessings and congratulations to Bishop-elect Hirshfield and to the members of the Diocese of New Hampshire.
