Watch or Attend Bishop Candidate Meet and Greets

Next week, the five candidates to be the 13th Bishop of the Diocese of New Jersey will travel together to five locations around the state—one for clergy only and four for all—to meet in person with congregants and the public. Candidates will answer questions previously submitted through the NJ Bishop Search Web site, and there will also be time to talk one-on-one or in small groups.

All public meet-and-greet sessions will be livestreamed to the diocesan Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube pages, as well as to the regular “Live” page on our Web site. Recordings will be available after the fact as well.
