Kenyans Elect Bishop Suffragan for U.S. Parishes
06/29/2007

The provincial synod of the Anglican Church of Kenya on June 29 elected the Rev. William L. Murdoch, rector of All Saints’ Church, West Newbury, Mass., as a Bishop Suffragan of All Saints Cathedral in the Diocese of Nairobi.

Bishop-elect Murdoch will be consecrated along with bishop-elect Bill Atwood on Aug. 30 by the Most Rev. Benjamin Nzimbi, Archbishop of Kenya, in Nairobi to “serve the international interests of the ACK [Anglican Church of Kenya], including taking responsibility for care for the congregations and clergy in the U.S. under Kenyan jurisdiction.”

A statement given to The Living Church noted that the two bishops-elect “will collaborate with others in the Common Cause network, chaired by the Rt. Rev. Robert Duncan, Bishop of Pittsburgh, to provide orthodox episcopal care and oversight, strategically uniting a broad conservative coalition that shares historic Anglican faith and practice.”
