The Episcopal Diocese of Alabama has received notification from Presiding Bishop and Primate Michael B. Curry and Registrar of General Convention, the Rev. Canon Michael Barlowe, that Bishop-Elect Glenda Curry has received the required majority of consents in the canonical consent process detailed in Canon III.11.3.

In giving consent to her ordination and consecration, Standing Committees and bishops with jurisdiction attest to knowing of “no impediment on account of which” Bishop-Elect Curry ought not to be ordained as bishop, and that her election was conducted in accordance with the Canons.

The Rev. Dr. Glenda Curry was elected Bishop Coadjutor on January 18, 2020.
