A Message About the Search for a New Dean and Rector

September 16, 2015

As reported to you on September 4, the Search Committee had completed its work and was prepared to recommend to the Vestry a candidate for Dean and Rector. However, on Tuesday afternoon that candidate withdrew from further consideration, choosing to stay at his parish to complete a three-year plan. Consequently we have and will continue to be in further conversations with the Bishop about re-opening the nationwide search process, and the next steps the committee and the Vestry will take.

While we are disappointed, we believe that what is best for our parish and the Cathedral has not yet been achieved, and are committed to continuing on the path in front of us. As the committee, the Vestry and the Bishop arrive at a consensus on immediate next steps, we will, of course, keep you informed.

Thank you.
