The standing committees and bishops exercising jurisdiction have given the required majority of consents to the Episcopal Diocese of Florida for its Sept. 11 election of the Rev. J. Randolph Alexander Jr. as bishop. His consecration and ordination service is scheduled for Feb. 6.
In giving consent to Alexander’s ordination and consecration as bishop, standing committees and bishops exercising jurisdiction in The Episcopal Church attest to knowing of “no impediment on account of which” Alexander ought not be ordained as bishop, and that his election was conducted in accordance with the canons. The consent process is detailed in Canon III.11.3.
Alexander is the rector of Immanuel Church-on-the-Hill in Alexandria, Virginia. Read news coverage about his election.
