The Episcopal Diocese of Lexington on Saturday elected a Georgia native as its seventh bishop.
The Very Rev. Douglas Hahn, 60, received the majority of votes from clergy and lay delegates after two rounds of balloting at Christ Church Cathedral in downtown Lexington. Hahn was selected from a field of six candidates chosen from among more than 30 applicants. One candidate withdrew before the tallying of the first round of votes.
As bishop, Hahn will oversee the diocese’s 35 congregations in Central and Eastern Kentucky.
How have the 35 congregations in this diocese been doing?
