People of Grace for the Diocese of Newark - Sacramental Presence of Christ in Northern New Jersey

And so, Lord, the People of the Diocese of Newark seek a Bishop of the Diocese who is a leader dwelling among us, calling us to marshal our faith and our talents, who is visible and vocal to both the Episcopal community and the world beyond, who speaks the spiritual reality and the truth of the Gospel as it relates to us and to our times.
