Transition Committee The Diocese of Florida has formed committees for both the Search/Nominating and Transition Committees. These groups are crucial in shared leadership in identifying and calling our next bishop diocesan. The Search and Transition Committees take on very different roles – please pay attention to where you might be called and how your gifts fit into the constellation of needs! For the Search Committee page, click here. Transition Committee Description This committee conducts a majority of the planning before the candidate slate is announced. Once the slate is announced, this committee takes over from the Search Committee. The task will be to work together to welcome and host the candidates in the diocese, provide opportunities for shared common discernment and learning, celebrate the work of the Standing Committee from November 2023 – Present. The committee will also be vital in the assisting with electing convention as well as the ordination of the new Bishop Diocesan.
