The Rev. Chris Warner was elected on October 15, 2022 during an electing synod of the Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic (DOMA) to be the successor to Bishop John Guernsey who is set to retire in February 2023. Bishop-elect Warner is scheduled to be consecrated on Saturday, February 18, 2023, at The Falls Church Anglican in Falls Church, Virginia.<\/p>\n
Warner is formerly the rector of the Church of the Holy Cross, Sullivan\u2019s Island\/Daniel Island, South Carolina. Prior to serving as Rector at Church of the Holy Cross, he served as associate rector there. He also served as rector at St. Christopher Camp and Conference Center in South Carolina and as curate at Trinity Episcopal Church in Columbus, Georgia. He married Catherine in 1993, and they have three adult children ages 27, 24, and 23.<\/p>\n
After he received the news of the consent from the College of Bishops, Warner reflected: \u201cI\u2019m overwhelmed with gratitude. It is an honor to be joining the College of Bishops; I look forward to serving the Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic, and I\u2019m excited about the future.\u201d When asked about how he will fill the big shoes of retiring Bishop John Guernsey, Warner responded, \u201cI\u2019m going to try and wear my own shoes because it will be too difficult to fill his. I\u2019m glad he will be around for a while to ease in the transition. I\u2019m coming from outside the diocese, so I need to get to know the staff and clergy throughout in a familial way.\u201d<\/p>\n
