Diocese of Kootenay Episcopal Electoral Synod “A Time of Gathering Prayer and Decision Making” By Stafford Brandrick Ninety delegates (thirty-three clergy, and fifty-seven lay) gathered at 9:00 am on Saturday January 19, 2019 at the Cathedral Church of St. Michael and All Angels, Kelowna, to celebrate the Holy Eucharist. The prayerful focus and atmosphere continued throughout the service and during the voting procedures. The service was led by the following lay and clergy congregates: Presider and Preacher: The Most Rev. Melissa Skelton Assisted by: The Very Rev. Nissa Basbaum The Venerable Trevor Freeman Deacon; The Venerable Chris Ross Liturgical Assistant: Robert Lemon Crucifer: Pam Harris Organist: Marjorie Close Readers: Helen Hall Brenda Panio Gospeller: The Rev. Richard Simpson Litanist : Paul Glen Sides-people: Stuart Richardson Howard Soon The Episcopal Election for the tenth Bishop of the Koo- tenay was chaired by Metropolitan and Archbishop — The Most Rev. Melissa Skelton. Her thoughtful sermon began with a hymn based on the tune of ‘My Favourite Things’ from ‘The Sound of Music’ that focused on the ways we are led and filled by the Holy Spirit. The Archbishop, in her role as the chair of the election, reviewed the ‘Election Procedures’ and led the delegates in a prayerful chant at the beginning of each voting session, preparing them to vote with the Holy Spirit’s guidance. Continued on P. 2 Episcopal Electoral Synod The second voting session spoke decisively from both the ‘House of the Clergy’ and the ‘House of the Laity’ in favour of The Rev. Dr Lynne McNaughton as our new Bishop Elect.
