The Rt. Rev. Robert .O. Miller, Ninth Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama, died Monday evening June 30, 2009, at Trinity Medical Center in Birmingham. Bishop Miller served as spiritual head of the more than 30,000 member diocese for almost a decade from 1989 until his retirement in 1998. His ordained ministry spanned almost half a century.
“Bishop Miller was a much beloved bishop in our diocese. He was a devoted pastor to many, a champion of the church’s ministry among the poor and persons in special need, and a leader in expanding the ministry of the Episcopal Church in Alabama. He will be greatly missed,” said the Rt. Rev. Henry N. Parsley Jr., Bishop of the Diocese of Alabama.
Bob Miller was a kind man who I appreciated in a whole variety of ways. May the Lord bless his family
