a new slate for the 11th bishop of the diocese of tennessee

we've just gone live with a new slate of candidates for election to the 11th bishop of the diocese of tennessee. you may recall this is the 2nd go round for this as both jay and i have helped be a part of the process.

i haven't had a chance to look over the candidates thoroughly, but i did notice that most seem to be more local than the last slate of candidates. by local i am saying all have south ties. there are five candidates, so i'm not sure if that makes it easier to agree on one candidate, versus the three presented last go round, with the one added in by petition.

the window for petition nomination is open as of noon for the next two weeks. so maybe we'll have a few more candidates to talk about after the first week of october.

some people who i will bet are going to be talking about this are the folks at titusonenine & maybe my bud thunder, he's been begging for the slate for days.
