The list of finalists to be Wyoming’s new Episcopal bishop has shrunk to four after one of the nominees withdrew his name last weekend.
The Episcopal Diocese of Wyoming didn’t give a reason why the Very Rev. Robert “Bob” Neske, dean of St. Mark’s Episcopal Pro-Cathedral in Hastings, Neb., took his name off the shortlist to succeed Bishop Bruce Caldwell, who is retiring next year.
Perhaps he realized that any priest willing to be elected now to serve in TEC’s House of Bishops is unworthy to be a the dean of historic St. Mark’s Pro-Cathedral?
