The Very Rev. Hickman Alexandre, who served as vice chair of the Committee to Confirm the Nomination of the Presiding Bishop, celebrates the successful election of The Right Rev. Sean Rowe as the 28th Presiding Bishop and Primate of the Episcopal Church. Alexandre who serves as the Dean of the Great South Bay Deanery, expresses his enthusiasm for Bishop Rowe’s leadership and vision for fostering creative collaborations across traditional silos within the church.
Following the overwhelming vote by the House of Bishops and the unanimous confirmation by the House of Deputies, Alexandre highlights Bishop Rowe’s commitment to restructuring the church to enhance collaborative ministry. Bishop Rowe's address to the House of Deputies underscored his desire to restructure the church in ways that enable more effective ministry across dioceses and congregations.
Alexandre is particularly excited about the potential for Bishop Rowe to model effective collaboration for the greater church. Bishop Rowe’s work in restructuring the dioceses of Northwestern Pennsylvania and Western New York, along with his consultations with other dioceses, demonstrates his capability in this area.
Alexandre also emphasizes Bishop Rowe’s ongoing commitment to working with the House of Deputies. As someone who serves on the council advising the last two presidents of the House of Deputies, Bishop Rowe shows a strong willingness to collaborate with all orders within the church.
This election marks a significant and hopeful moment for the Episcopal Church, as Bishop Rowe prepares to take on his new role and lead the church into a future of enhanced collaboration and effective ministry.
