The Anglo-Catholic Diocese of Quincy based in Peoria has announced plans to elect its next bishop.

The diocese has been led by the diocesan standing committee since the retirement of Bishop Keith Ackerman last fall.

"We've begun the process of assessing the needs and vision of our diocese and forming a search committee," said the Rev. John Spencer, president of the standing committee. "We'll begin receiving nominations on July 1 and will move forward with interviews through the late summer. We plan to elect at our annual synod in October." the rest
