In El Paso, St. Francis pastor elected bishop in ACNA
For the Rev. Cannon Felix Orji, pastor of St. Francis on the Hill on El Paso’s Westside, the news that he had been elected bishop for the Convocation of Anglicans in North America, or CANA, came as a big surprise.
He didn’t even know he was a candidate.
The last time he learned he was a candidate for bishop, he removed his name from consideration.
“I’ve not been a contender for the position,” Orji told El Paso Inc. “My interest in ministry is to serve the church and to preach the gospel, not to become a big shot. I’ve not really been interested in being a bishop.
“However, this time they did not want to talk to me because they didn’t want me to wriggle out of it again. But I’m delighted.”
Read it all.
