The standing committees and bishops exercising jurisdiction have given the required majority of consents to the Episcopal Diocese of North Dakota for its Oct. 25 election of the Very Rev. Shay Craig as bishop. Her consecration and ordination service is scheduled for March 14.
In giving consent to Craig’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” Bishop-elect Craig ought not be ordained as bishop, and that her election was conducted in accordance with the canons. The consent process is detailed in Canon III.11.3.
Craig is the dean of Christ Cathedral in Salina, Kansas. Read news coverage about her election.
