I can't be there to vote as a delegate today due to illness, but am pretty excited to find out that the final two candidates are women, votes were just cast, and the next bishop of @semnsynod WILL be a woman! #followingjesus19

@ELCABishopEaton on joys of the job: 'seeing other bishops in their natural habitats' and the love their people have for them. #followingjesus19

[Jacie Richmond @JacieRichmond]

Thank you @ericbarreto for reminding us that faith at the end is not about fear and death, but it is instead about hope and eternal life. #followingjesus19

[Collette Broady Grund @Collettebro]

Along with the Great Commandments and the Great Commission, Jesus gives us the Great Promise: I am with you always. @ELCABishopEaton #followingjesus19

Bishop Eaton's @ELCABishopEaton first time in Southeastern Minnesota! So exciting to have her here at this time and in this place as we call a new bishop to @semnsynod @ELCA #followjesus19

[Angel @aleyack]

Moving moment as Bishop Delzer thanks the staff, many of whom have walked alongside him throughout his tenure as Bishop. A standing ovation from the crowd. @semnsynod #followingjesus19
