Q: What is Investiture?
A: Investiture is the short name for the service in which a previously consecrated bishop assumes a new role as bishop of a diocese. The upcoming investiture of Presiding Bishop-elect Sean Rowe will be livestreamed for all, and St. Francis’ will host a livestream party. Join us beginning at 9:30am on Saturday, November 2. RSVPs required to Laurie+ or by signing up on the bulletin board.
From a press release available in full here:
Announced in June, the simpler, scaled-down service to welcome the 28th presiding bishop is ordered around a smaller carbon footprint and increased churchwide virtual participation. Nearly all dioceses sent in video greetings for a special “roll call” that will precede the service.
