We are called to embody the love of Jesus Christ with grace. hope. joy.

The image reads: "The First Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of the Great Lakes." The word "Bishop" is in the same highly stylized, all-caps serif font that includes flourishes that are reminiscent of illustrations of waves - like waves on the Great Lakes - that is used in the diocese's wordmark. The rest of the text is in an italicized, all caps, sans serif font. The italicization and the shape of the more stylized text give the graphic a feeling of forward motion. Above the "IS" in "Bishop," the illustration of a mitre from our diocesan seal sits.

The Bishop Search Committee has announced the schedule for Listening Sessions across the diocese this fall to help them in their discerning work of producing a profile with which to call our first bishop diocesan. Mark your calendar for an online session or an onsite session near you and share your voice and perspective with the committee!
