[The Living Church] 28 Feb 2008--The Rev. Canon Brian Cox, one of two clergy appointed by Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori to serve as an “interim pastoral presence” in the Diocese of San Joaquin, told The Living Church that a search is underway for a location at which to hold an organizing convention on March 29, at which time representatives to that convention will elect a provisional bishop.

The process of electing a provisional bishop is described in Title 3, canon 13, sections 1-3 of the constitution and canons of The Episcopal Church.
