Collect for The Bishop Search and Transition Process
O God of unchangeable power and eternal light, abundant giver of every good gift: Look graciously upon this your Diocese, and through your Spirit, give wisdom to those who will choose our next bishop; and to those who will consider a call to this office, grant discernment; that we may, through pastoral and faithful leadership, be equipped to minister as the Church you are calling us to be; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
