Bishop Iker‘s last official parish visitation as our Diocesan
Bishop took place Sunday at St. Simon’s Church in
Fort Worth, where Fr Felix Akinkugbe is the priest in charge.
Our new Coadjutor Bishop will begin making all visitations
starting Sept. 22, and Bishop Iker will begin a sabbatical leave.

The Bishop-elect is ‘in’

Our Bishop Coadjutor-elect, the Very Rev. Ryan Reed,
has started keeping office hours at the Diocesan Center.
Bishop Iker stopped by his desk to say ‘welcome’
and offer a few friendly pointers for success.
