Lynne McNaughton elected bishop of Kootenay

Notes: "The Rev. Lynne McNaughton, rector of St. Clement's Anglican Church, North Vancouver, and deputy prolocutor of General Synod, has been elected the 10th bishop of the diocese of Kootenay. She was elected on the second ballot during an electoral synod held Saturday, Jan. 19 [2019] at the Cathedral of St. Michael and All Angels, Kelowna, B.C." (p. 1). "One of the things she likes about the diocese, McNaughton said, is the support it provides for ministry through the Kootenay School of Ministry, which focuses on the local training of priests and deacons, and the diocese's Education for Ministry program, which makes theological education available to lay people" (p. 14). "McNaughton was ordained a priest in the diocese of New Westminster in 1987, and has served her entire ordained life in the diocese" (p. 14). "Her service has included work for the national church. McNaughton has been a member of every General Synod, for example, since 2010, and has also served on Council of General Synod (CoGS) since that time. Since 2016, she has been deputy prolocutor of CoGS. She has sat on many committees of the national church, including the Anglican Church of Canada - United Church of Canada Dialogue, of which she was the Anglican co-chair from 2016-2019" (p. 4).
