The Standing Committee of the Episcopal Diocese of Oregon has just announced a slate of candidates who will be on the ballot for the election of the 11th Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Oregon (June 27, 2020). Among them is one of our own: The Rev. Dr. Diana Akiyama, Vicar, St. Augustine’s Episcopal Church, Kapaʻau, and Dean, Waiolaihuiʻia School for Formation. See Meet the Finalists from the Diocese of Oregon.  

Please keep Diana, the good people of St. Augustine’s Church, and the Diocese of Oregon in your prayers.

Almighty God, the giver of all good gifts, in your divine providence you have appointed various orders in your Church: Give your grace, we humbly pray, to all who are called to any office and ministry for your people; and so fill them with the truth of your doctrine and clothe them with holiness of life, that they may faithfully serve before you, to the glory of your great Name and for the benefit of your holy Church; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Yours faithfully,

+Bob
