The Episcopal Diocese of Ohio has received notification from Presiding Bishop and Primate Michael B. Curry that Bishop-elect Anne B. Jolly has received the required majority of consents in the canonical consent process detailed in Canon III.11.3. The consents received have been certified by the Rev. Canon Michael Barlowe, registrar of the General Convention.

In giving consent to her ordination and consecration, standing committees and bishops exercising jurisdiction in The Episcopal Church attest to knowing of “no impediment on account of which” Bishop-elect Jolly ought not to be ordained as bishop, and that her election was conducted in accordance with the canons.

Jolly was elected bishop coadjutor on Nov. 19. Her consecration and ordination service is scheduled for April 29.
