The Election of a New Bishop
At the 2025 ELCIC National Convention, delegates will elect a new bishop following 18 years of service from our current National Bishop Susan Johnson, who has indicated her desire to retire.
Through to March 31 individuals have the opportunity to identify someone with the skills and gifts for the call to serve as national bishop.
The pre-identification form can be found here. If you have a pastor or Synod Bishop in mind who you would would like to pre-identify as a candidate for the office of National Bishop and have questions about the process please speak with Pastor Vida.
