My hope is that this search process will not only meet our current diocesan needs but will also address what the future of the church may need for leadership.

BTC Co-chair

As a lifelong Episcopalian, I love the Episcopal Church, care deeply about its future, and have passion for restoration and reconciliation of all of God’s people.

St. Paul’s, Shelton

As this committee commences its work, I believe many new and exciting opportunities exist for the Diocese in the future.

St. Paul and St. James, New Haven

When asked to write a biographical paragraph, I often begin with the following sentence: “Harlon Dalton is an African-American male child of God and of the 60’s.” I lead with this quadruple statement of identity because every part of it shapes how I navigate the world, and informs the kind of Heaven on Earth I envision.

St. John’s, Washington

I am honored to be part of the BTC. I accept this great responsibility with prayerfulness and humility as we search for a Bishop who will share our hopes and concerns and can lead through prayer and empowerment.

I have been a priest for over twenty years with a focus on building community, undoing racism, eco-spirituality and supporting people in the development of their God-given inner strength.

St. John’s, Vernon

The BTC committee is committed to finding a diverse slate of candidates that fit all of our parishes, big and small and a Bishop that will walk beside us out of the pandemic into a prosperous new future.

Bishop Ian has led ECCT in a very powerful, spirit-filled, groundbreaking direction, and I am honored to join this committee as it works to discern where the Holy Spirit is urging us forward from this point, and who might be best suited to lead us in that direction.

St. Paul’s on the Green, Norwalk

The church is at her best when she is serving local communities, ministering to all, especially those who are marginalized.

Trinity, Brooklyn

I’m honored to work with my fellow BTC members to listen to the sacred stories among our parishes and communities to discern how God is inviting us to call our new Diocesan Bishop.

St. James, New London

Serving on the Bishop’s Transition Committee is an honor. I hope God sees favor in my contributions to a process that hopefully inspires candidates who are committed to fairness and racial healing, and have the vision to create the Episcopal Church of tomorrow.

St. Mark’s, Mystic

ECCT and its parishes must learn how to “be the church” in the 21st century and post-pandemic. This includes adapting long-held beliefs and practices about the life of our parishes; how, when, and where we meet; and how we reach out to people.

St. Paul’s, Southington

I’m honored by this opportunity to help discern where the Holy Spirit is leading ECCT next.

I am grateful for the privilege of having served with many lay and clergy members around ECCT, and give thanks for the diversity, gifts, and faithfulness of God’s people here in Connecticut.

I believe that responding to these and other human needs provide fertile ground for engaging the Holy One’s desire for justice and accompaniment. I look forward to working with others to help discern how best to respond to this desire.

Trinity on the Green, New Haven

I look forward to adding my own talents of working with young adults, writing, editing, and research to the Bishop Transition Committee, not only as a member but also as the Profile Committee Chair.
