The Nominees are.... Click here The Bishop Search Committee Welcome to the website of the Bishop Search Committee of the Episcopal Diocese of Newark. The website is intended as a friendly way station to pass on information about both the Search Committee itself and about the Diocese's search for a new bishop, occasioned by Bishop Croneberger 's upcoming retirement in 2006. As determined by the Diocese's Standing Committee, here's what the Search Committee is supposed to do: To create a profile of the diocese; To receive the names and evaluate the qualifications of prospective candidates; To create a slate of nominees; and To introduce the nominees to the diocese. Signs of Grace in the Diocese of Newark The profile of the Diocese of Newark of Newark provides a portrait of the outward and visible signs as well as the inward and spiritual grace of Christ's presence in the Episcopal Church in northern New Jersey. We hope to reveal something of our ongoing experience of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ as we anticipate his coming again in this part of the world. We reveal as much as we can about who we are, the character of our life together, and the nature of our discernment as we seek from God a new Bishop to lead us further into the particular challenges and possibilities of the 21st century. The profile is presented symbolically in the model of a Eucharistic liturgy. It is not a literal liturgical text and is not a re-writing of liturgical texts. It does indicate the way in which the Eucharist unites the diverse people of the Diocese of Newark with Christ and one another and empowers us to be God's people in the world. Also, it shows that we view our world, our lives, and our life together through the lens we have as Eucharistic people. We invite you to the Profile of the Diocese of Newark. The Diocese of Newark is ethnically diverse. In recognition of this, the Profile of the Diocese is available in Spanish, Korean, and Malayalam, a language of India now in use in this diocese. Additionally, a rough translation of these web pages into Chinese, German, Japanese, Korean, French, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish is available using the Bable Fish Translator to the right. The Spanish, Korean and Malayalam profiles are in pdf format and require the free Adobe Reader to view.   A prayer for the election of the 10th Bishop of Newark Almighty God, we acknowledge with gratitude your guidance in the past.
