Click to View Bishop Coadjutor Candidate Walkabout Videos

The Bishop Coadjutor candidates spent a week traveling to five parishes in the diocese, Incarnation, Transfiguration, St. Paul Ellis County, St. Peter's in McKinney and St. Philip's in Sulphur Springs. These churches generously provided space, meals and volunteers to provide a diocesan-wide opportunity for clergy and laity to meet the candidates and learn more about how, if elected, they would serve in the role of Bishop Coadjutor.
