In my travels, I always say to the communities, “Pray for your bishop; love, support and bless them in their ministry. In this you are doing God’s calling.” This spring there will be four diocesan episcopal elections—in Saskatoon, Moosonee, the Arctic and Rupert’s Land—as well as the election of a new suffragan bishop in the diocese of Montreal. This means that there will be, God willing in all things, five new members added to the church’s House of Bishops. Being a leader is no easy feat at the best of times, and we the people need to remember that in such a critical and vocal age. Bishops and other leaders of the church are called by the Almighty and community to be prayerful rallying voices and stalwart guides for the faithful—not to be set on a pedestal, but to walk with the people in healing and blessing.
