The Rt. Rev. Sean Rowe elected 28th presiding bishop of The Episcopal Church


     The Rt. Rev. Sean Rowe, bishop of the Episcopal Dioceses of Northwestern Pennsylvania and Western New York, was elected and confirmed the 28th presiding bishop and primate of The Episcopal Church on June 26 for a nine-year term beginning November 1st.

     Rowe was chosen from among five nominees on the first ballot.  Following his election by the House of Bishops, the House of Deputies confirmed the election.

     Rowe, 49, was ordained bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Northwestern Pennsylvania in 2007 and became bishop provisional of Western New York in 2019.  From 2014 to 2018, he served as bishop provisional of the Episcopal Diocese of Bethlehem.

     Born in Sharon, Pennsylvania, Rowe earned a bachelor’s degree in history from Grove City College, a master of divinity from Virginia Theological Seminary, and a doctorate in organizational learning and leadership from Gannon University.

     Rowe was the youngest Episcopal priest in the U.S. when he was ordained in 2000 at age 24, and he was the youngest member of the House of Bishops when he was ordained and consecrated at age 32.

     Rowe is married to Carly Rowe, a Christian educator; they have a daughter named Lauren.

     As the new presiding bishop-elect, Rowe will preach at General Convention’s June 28th closing Eucharist service.  Presiding Bishop Michael Curry will preside.

     Details about the transition and celebration will be announced after General Convention.

A GRATITUDE PRAYER 


Dearest Lord,

For the gift of life, I thank thee. For the rising sun and the seasonal promise of plants and flowers that will surround me, I thank thee. For my family and friends and the gifts they share, I thank thee. For my home and all its comforts within, I thank thee. For the abundance you give me and my willingness to share it with others, I thank thee. For the wisdom of my elders and my ability to listen, I thank thee. For acceptance of the challenges that I face every day, I thank thee. For strength and courage to act for justice and peace, I thank thee. For knowledge that without you I have nothing, I thank thee. And for the end-of-day blessings before I sleep, I thank you gracious Lord.
