[The Living Church] 9 Nov 2007--Bishop Harry Bainbridge of Idaho and Bishop Don Wimberly of Texas recently announced plans to call for the election of their successors.

Under the tentative plan presented to the diocese, the election would be held in June. The diocese received a tentative consecration date of Oct. 11, 2008, from Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori. Bishop Bainbridge said he will retire “effective with the consecration of my successor.”
