| The Constitution
and Canons of the Episcopal Church do not specify in detail how a
Diocese is to select a bishop, saying only: "In every Diocese the
Bishop or Bishop Coadjutor shall be chosen agreeably to rules
prescribed by the Convention of that Diocese." (Constitution
of the General Convention, Art. II, Sec. 1)
Therefore, when the Second Bishop of
El Camino Real announced his intention to call for the election of a
bishop coadjutor at the Annual Meeting of Convention in January 2004,
the Standing Committee proposed, and the Diocesan Council and the
Diocesan Corporation approved, the formation of a Joint Process
Committee to prepare for the election. This Joint Process
Committee consisted of representatives from the Standing Committee,
Diocesan Council and Diocesan Corporation.
