Well, we, the Episcopal Diocese of San Joaquin has announced the proposed selection of our new provisional bishop to succeed our current bishop, Jerry Lamb. It seems that Bishop Chet Talton, retired suffragan bishop from Los Angeles has agreed to become the new provisonal bishop of our diocese. We are pleased to have him aboard (election will take place in March) and we will have one last chance to say farewell to Bishop Lamb and salute him for the absolutely outstanding work he has done here in San Joaquin.

WOW! Who´s next, +Gene Robinson after he retires?

Leonardo,
Yes, we would love to have Bishop Robinson should the situatin arise. I think Bishop Talton is absolutely the very best pick we could have found. I believe we will do great things under his leadership -- and with the lay leadership we have here in our diocese.
Bishop Talton is a great bishop and wonderful person. He will help keep moving things along in San Joaquin.
