A note from the bishop: Discernment of call as bishop

Blessings for the New Year and Renewed Energy this Epiphany!


The past months have included prayer and discernment for me regarding the renewal of my call to continue serving as Bishop of the Southern Ohio Synod. I will stand for the renewal of this call at the 2019 Southern Ohio Synod Assembly. I believe that together, the synod and I have been able to move forward in announcing God’s Kingdom to our mission territory, and I believe we are not finished yet. These past 5 years have been a blessing and I look forward to where God is leading this synod, the entire Church, and all of us as individuals.

Within the next several weeks you should receive a letter from Vice President Marjorie Ellis outlining the Discernment Process for the synod’s selection of bishop. 

Our theme for 2019 is Stronger and Better Together..On the Way, based on the Emmaus Road Easter Story in Luke 24.  Synod Assembly is June 7-8 at Wittenberg University in Springfield. 


We are on the Way..in Christ.

Bishop Dillahunt
