Bishop Lee, Bishop-Elect Minns Seek Solution
08/14/2006

The Bishop of Virginia, the Rt. Rev. Peter Lee, announced that he and the Rev. Canon Martyn Minns, rector of Truro Church, Fairfax, are working together to address the ramifications of Canon Minns’ election by the Nigeria House of Bishops to serve as a bishop of the Church of Nigeria in the United States. Canon Minns’ consecration is scheduled for Aug. 20.

In a letter to his diocese Aug. 13, Bishop Lee noted that Truro had begun searching for a successor to Canon Minns prior to the Nigerian election in June, though he has not yet announced a resignation date. “While this situation presents many complex issues of governance and polity, the situation is made more complicated by the desire of the Truro Vestry to have Martyn continue as rector until his successor has been identified,” Bishop Lee wrote.
