Presiding Bishop Investiture: Saturday, Nov. 2

The Investiture of Presiding Bishop-elect Sean Rowe

The Rt. Rev. Sean Rowe will be invested as the 28th Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church on Saturday, November 2, 2024.

More information about the ceremony, including how to watch it live, is below. We encourage churches and other small groups to gather together to watch the livestream. In particular, St. John’s Cathedral will host a watch party—more information on their event is at the bottom of this email.

Who: Everyone is invited to watch!
What: The Episcopal Church will officially welcome the Rt. Rev. Sean Rowe as its 28th presiding bishop with a smaller, simpler investiture service aimed at reducing carbon footprint and increasing churchwide virtual participation.
When: Saturday, Nov. 2, with a prelude featuring a “roll call” of dioceses starting at 9:30 a.m. ET. The service itself starts at 11 a.m. ET.
Where: The service will be livestreamed on this page and on The Episcopal Church’s Facebook page. A recording will be posted and distributed after the service.
