The Rev Elizabeth Eaton Elected Presiding Bishop

The Rev. Elizabeth Eaton, bishop of Northeastern Ohio Synod has been elected presiding bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.  Presiding bishop is the pastor to all of the bishops and the whole church.  She was very articulate, down-to-earth, and clear in her responses to the questions asked of all the candidates.  Let us give thanks to God for Bishop Hanson’s 12 years of service, and pray for Bishop Eaton, as the whole church continues to be made new in Christ.
