Oregon diocese names Sanford Hampton as assisting bishop
[Episcopal News Service] The Rt. Rev. Sanford Hampton will begin serving as assisting bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Oregon on Friday, April 18, according to Mary Cramer, president of the eight-member diocesan standing committee.
"We want him to have a very strong pastoral presence in the diocese and I think his background and his personality lend him to do that beautifully," Cramer said.
"Bishop Hampton will be in our diocese a couple of weeks each month," she added. "His primary responsibilities will be for that all-important 'pastoral presence' with visitations, confirmations, ordinations, relationship with clergy and laity, and clergy supervision as duties." |
