Susie White and Alan Treeter, chairs of the Transition Committee. With the work of the Search Committee done, the Transition Committee goes into full swing, beginning with the Walk-abouts. |
Two Walk-abouts are scheduled for the weekend of November 21-22. The
Walk-Abouts are designed to allow certified delegates to the electing
convention and other interested persons to meet the candidates and ask
them questions. For planning purposes, those who would like to attend
one of the Walk-Abouts are asked to sign-up beforehand. Registration is
available on the diocesan Web site at www.edusc.org/nextbishop.
The first Walk-about will be held on Saturday, November 21, at St.
John's Episcopal Church in Columbia. Registration will begin at 8 am
followed by Morning Prayer and an introduction of the candidates at 9 am
at which time each candidate will make a brief opening statement. At
10:30 am, attendees will move to designated breakout rooms, and the
candidates will rotate from room to room, thereby allowing attendees to
ask questions of each candidate for approximately 30 minutes in smaller
group settings. There will be an opportunity to submit questions at the
beginning of each breakout session in each room, and the questions asked
will be selected at random by the moderator assigned to the breakout
room. A lunch break is planned from 12:15 -1:30 pm, and box lunches will
be available for purchase at a cost of $8 per person. A reservation for
lunch is requested and may be made at the same time as registration for
the Saturday Walk-About on the diocesan Web site.
The second Walk-about will be held at Christ Church in Greenville the
afternoon of Sunday, November 22. Registration will begin at 12:30 pm
with a welcome and introduction of the candidates to follow at 1:30 pm.
Breakout sessions, similar to those planned for Saturday, will take
place beginning at 2:30 pm. At the conclusion of the breakout sessions,
Evening Prayer and light refreshments will be offered at the church.

plays.
