Choosing a Bishop: A Forum for the Catholic People of the Diocese of Bridgeport
"Broad consultation within the diocese is encouraged with regard to the needs of the diocese." - Office of Media Relations, U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops
Bishop William Lori of the Diocese of Bridgeport has been appointed as Archbishop of Baltimore and will be installed on May 16, 2012. This forum, sponsored by the Center for Catholic Studies at Fairfield University, will provide an opportunity for the Catholic people of the diocese to express their opinions on the kinds of personal qualities and talents they would like to see in their next bishop.
The forum will ask participants to reflect on two questions:
- What are the most important issues facing the diocese at the present time?
- What qualities - personal, professional, and spiritual - do you think are desirable in the next Bishop of Bridgeport?
All the clergy and laity of the Diocese are invited to participate in this conversation.
