Beginning in April through early May, the Bishop Search & Nomination Committee held Listening Sessions across the diocese. Input received from clergy and laypeople will help guide them as they prepare the Diocesan Profile.
The Diocesan Profile is a detailed description of the Diocese of Utah that helps those who are discerning a call to be the next bishop learn more about the diocese and its people. We welcome all inquiries and are committed to giving full consideration to every prospective candidate.
