EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF CENTRAL FLORIDA ELECTS NEW BISHOP


From the Orlando Sentinal:
The Rev. Gregory Orrin Brewer, rector of the Calvary-St. George's Parish in New York City, was elected Saturday to be the fourth bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Central Florida.

Brewer will succeed Bishop John W. Howe, who is retiring. Consecration of the fourth bishop of Central Florida is scheduled for March 24, 2012 at First Baptist Church of Orlando, followed by the retirement of Bishop Howe.

Brewer was one of seven candidates for bishop elected by delegates to the diocese's special convention held at Trinity Preparatory School in Winter Park.
Thanks be to God. Prayers, blessings, and best wishes to the new bishop-elect and the members of the Diocese of Central Florida.
