According to The Episcopal Church Glossary, A bishop coadjutor is “assistant bishop with the right of succession upon the resignation of the diocesan bishop.” In other words, Bishop Marc is currently our diocesan bishop and will remain in that role until he retires this summer. In December 2023, the Rev. Austin K. Rios was chosen to succeed Bishop Marc. On Saturday, May 4, 2024, Bishop-elect Rios will be ordained and consecrated as Bishop Coadjutor. That means for a short time, we will have two bishops! Then, following Bishop Marc’s retirement, Bishop Austin will be installed as our diocesan (and one and only) bishop.
Rundown of terms:
- Bishop-Elect
- Bishop Coadjutor
- Bishop Diocesan
