Episcopal elections
At nomination stage
The Diocese of Central New York has announced the candidates for its tenth bishop. Election: 1-2 June -- http://centralnewyork.anglican.org/tenthbishop/nominees/
The Diocese of Atlanta announced candidate information for its ninth bishop a few weeks ago. Election: 31 March -- http://atlanta.anglican.org
(The Atlanta webmaster notes: 'Over the past several weeks the diocese has gotten acquainted with these 5 through the internet. Each week,
members of the diocese could submit questions to candidates around five topics: experience in ministry, community building / leadership,
spiritual practice, social justice/community ministry, and liturgy. Members of the nominating committee then distilled these questions
into three "coffee hour questions" to be answered in 300 words or less each. In addition, emails were sent regularly to members
of the diocese, informing them of the nominating committee's progress. Each of these avenues of communication got much good feedback,
many web hits, and helped the diocese get better acquainted with its candidates prior to the "live" presentation events'.)
The Diocese of West Tennessee posted information on the web some time ago about the candidates for its third bishop. Election: 29 March.

USA: New York, 17-22 June
Association of Anglican Musicians 2001 Conference
'AAM 2001 will explore the homiletical implications of music performed in the context of worship. As we experience the variety of liturgical
and musical expression that New York City offers, conferees are invited to study and reflect upon the ways in which music performed within
the context of worship proclaims the Gospel and comments upon it.This year’s theme: Music as Preaching and Prophecy: Proclaiming
the Gospel in Song arises out of the assumption that when a sacred text is sung liturgically—or even when purely instrumental music
is played—the experience articulates and interprets the biblical and theological content of the composition being performed. Therefore,
as musicians, whenever we perform music in a liturgical context, we function as preachers'. -- http://www.aam2001.com
