With the close of the Nomination by Petition period, the Standing Committee is pleased to announce that the Rev. Elizabeth “Libby” Berman, Rector of the Church of the Holy Nativity, Honolulu, has successfully petitioned into nomination. Rev.

She now joins the two candidates previously announced by the Search Committee — the Rev. Andrew Arakawa and the Rev. Timothy Yanni — forming the final slate of three candidates for the Sixth Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Hawaiʻi.


Please visit the Bishop Search & Transition webpage HERE for more information about all three candidates on the final slate.
