Post-Election FAQ

In June, the College of Bishops will interview C4SO’s Bishop-Elect and give or withhold their consent to his election. Consenting to episcopal elections is one of the most important things the College of Bishops does together. That’s because a Bishop is not just a Bishop for his diocese, but for the whole Church.

According to the Canons of the Anglican Church in North America:

By the tradition of Christ’s One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, Bishops are consecrated for the whole Church and are successors of the Apostles through the grace of the Holy Spirit given to them. They are chief missionaries and chief pastors, guardians and teachers of doctrine, and administrators of godly discipline and governance.

If the College of Bishops does not consent to the Bishop-Elect, C4SO’s Bishops and the Executive Leadership Team will enter a period of discernment about how and when to begin the search process again.

If the College of Bishops consents, the Diocesan Bishop-Elect will begin a season of training and orientation with Bishop Todd, who will continue in his role as Diocesan Bishop until May 1, 2026. The Diocesan Bishop-Elect will now assume the title of Coadjutor, a formal term that means he is designated as Bishop Todd’s successor.

On September 27, 2025, we will consecrate the Coadjutor in his home city. The whole C4SO community is invited, and details are forthcoming.

On May 1, 2026, we will install the Coadjutor as C4SO’s new Diocesan Bishop at a special service coinciding with the Clergy Retreat at Glen Eyrie in Colorado Springs. The whole C4SO community is invited, and details are forthcoming.
