We in the Episcopal Diocese of Washington congratulate the Search Committee for the Diocese of Chicago in their wise discernment to include our beloved Canon to the Ordinary Paul Clark among the final candidates for bishop. We who are blessed by Paula’s passionate faith, personal warmth, and gifted leadership fully understand their choice. Paula, too, is discerning God’s will for her ministry and we can attest that she would be an amazing bishop. Now we pray for Paula and her family, the other candidates and their families, and all in the Diocese of Chicago as their discerning journey culminates in the electing convention in December.
