Rev. Canon Marc Richard Steele elected suffragan bishop

On Thursday, May 15, 2025, the electors of the Anglican Diocese of the Living Word voted to elect the Rev. Canon Marc Richard Steele to serve as ADLW’s first elected suffragan bishop. In June, Bishop Julian Dobbs will bring Canon Marc before the ACNA College of Bishops, seeking their consent to the election.

 

Canon Marc serves as the Rector of St. George’s Anglican Church in  Helmetta, NJ. He also serves on the diocesan staff as Senior Canon for Diocesan Ministries. He and his wife, Korleen, have six children and one granddaughter.

 

We give glory to God for raising up Canon Marc in ministry for such a time as this. Please continue in prayer for the Steele family, for our diocese, and for the College of Bishops as they deliberate in June.


Thanks be to God!
