COMMITTEE NOMINATIONS

The roles in our committees are vital to our mission, helping to ensure the Church is stewarded with excellence and wisdom. Please take some time to prayerfully nominate clergy and lay members who embody the qualities of strong stewards. Who are the individuals in your church with a passion for supporting our diocese’s work and advancing the Kingdom?

We appreciate your prayerful participation in this process. Guided by the Holy Spirit, we depend on you to help our Nominating Committee discern which names to put forward for election to offices in our Diocesan leadership. Please note that the names you submit are suggestions, not actual nominations. Be certain that those suggested are eligible and willing to serve. Consent forms and Job Descriptions will be sent to vetted nominees, after which the Nominating Committee will prayerfully select a slate.

GUEST SPEAKERS

The Rt. Rev. Darryl Fitzwater
Bishop Ordinary for the Diocese of All Saints (ACNA)

The Rt. Rev. Darryl Fitzwater is the Bishop Ordinary for the Diocese of All Saints (ACNA).  He was consecrated on the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi (2024) and enthroned as the diocesan ordinary on the Feast Day of Thomas Cranmer (2025). He was an ordained Pentecostal minister for 12 years before joining the Anglican Church in North America. In that time, he pastored Pentecostal congregations, led denominational boards and mission teams, and worked in clergy enrichment. 

He serves as the Bishop Protector for the Society of Saint Michael, the First Vice-President for Forward in Faith North America, and as the ACNA’s Ecumenical representative to the Orthodox Church in America. Bishop Fitzwater continues to serve as Rector for Cathedral Church of the Ascension in Charles Town, WV. 

He and his wife, Becki, have been married since 2000. They have two children, Aidan and Chloe. Becki is a Licensed Professional Counselor. Aidan is a student at Franciscan University preparing for priesthood in the Anglican Church, and Chloe is a writer of young adult fiction novels, notably, “Playing with Shadows.”  

Bishop Darryl holds his Bachelor of Arts in Pastoral Ministry from Central Bible College and Masters of Divinity from Asbury Theological Seminary. He is currently working on his Doctor of Ministry at Regent University in Virginia. 

He regularly posts on Facebook and YouTube, and he hosts the “American Catholic Podcast” on Spotify.  

The Most Rev. Dr. Azad Marshall
Archbishop and Moderator of the Church of Pakistan
(Anglican Communion)

Archbishop Marshall participated in the 1998 Lambeth Conference, where he voted in favor of Resolution I.10, which affirms the biblical teaching on marriage and human sexuality.

Throughout his ministry, Archbishop Marshall has maintained a strong commitment to mission, evangelism, theological education, and the strengthening of the Church. He has authored several books on theology and Christian formation and has established initiatives devoted to theological education, literacy among underserved Christian communities in Pakistan, and the development of pastors and Christian workers in Pakistan and beyond.

Archbishop Marshall and his wife, Lesley, live and serve in Lahore. Together, they remain committed to seeing the Church in Pakistan flourish, grow in faith and witness, and more fully reflect the Body of Christ.

WORKSHOPS

And You Shall Receive Power (Acts 1:8)

Workshop led by Fr. Alan Hansen

At the Ascension Jesus told his disciples to wait in Jerusalem until they received the Holy Spirit and the power they would need to bear witness to His resurrection and the spreading of His gospel. That power was released on Pentecost.  This workshop will provide practical insight and understanding of the work and ministry of the Holy Spirit through the local church today. We will look at the Three Levels of Power, The Purpose of Pentecost, Gifts of the Holy Spirit, and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. 

Healing Prayer Ministry for Today

Workshop led by Jay and Eleni Jakub

This interactive workshop will introduce four types of healing prayer and include an Immanuel prayer exercise focused on listening to God. Participants will explore practical ways to incorporate healing prayer into parish life and will have an opportunity to pray for one another in small groups, followed by time for Q&A.
