Bishop Rowe called for the church to be courageous and resilient, facing an existential crisis due to a changing world, emphasizing the need to avoid collapse under its own weight.
He suggested a focus on local dioceses and congregations, as well as streamlining the national structure, pointing towards a vision for the future of the Episcopal Church.
Originally from western Pennsylvania, Bishop Rowe became the youngest Episcopal priest in the U.S. at his ordination in 2000, and the youngest bishop seven years later, holding various leadership roles within the national denomination.
Bishop Sean Rowe's election marks a significant shift in leadership, succeeding the term of Bishop Michael Curry, the denomination's first Black presiding bishop known for emphasizing evangelism, racial justice, and love.
