At the 119th Synod of the Diocese of Rupert’s Land, Bishop Geoff Woodcroft announced his pending retirement on June 1st, 2025. This initiated a process that will culminate in Synod being called to gather for the sole purpose of an holding an Episcopal Election. At this 120th sitting of Synod, chaired by Archbishop Greg Kerr-Wilson, Metropolitan of the Ecclesiastical Province of the Northern Lights, our next bishop will be elected.
As outlined in Provincial Constitution and Canons, the first step is to determine the date for the Electoral Synod and to establish the Diocesan Search Committee. Diocesan Council has discussed this and the Metropolitan has concurred with our intention. The Electoral Synod will take place at St. John Cathedral, Winnipeg on Saturday 31 May 2025. The Seach Committee has been established and has begun their work. Updates from the Search Committee can be found here.
