The bishop’s election process is overseen by the NC Synod Council along with the ELCA Office of the Secretary and ELCA Presiding Bishop. Asa a key step in our discernment, Synod council is requesting the input of the synod—that’s YOU and others in your congregation!—for the creation of a synodwide Ministry Site Profile (MSP), similar to what is used by congregations in the call process. This MSP will be a snapshot of the synod’s life now, name the synod’s hopes and dreams for the future, and note gifts needed in a bishop.
Submit by Friday, January 31!

Your responses will provide feedback to the team working to create the document. Once it is approved by the synod council, it will be shared with the whole synod as a tool for our holy listening to the Spirit.
