On November 9, 2019 Russ Hale was consecrated as the newest Bishop in The Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches at Sanctuary Church in Tulsa, OK. He will be serving as a Bishop with the Province USA. It was a beautiful service in which six of the Communion’s bishops (two of which were founding bishops) participated and Presiding Bishop Quintin Moore served as the chief consecrator. It was a deeply moving time. Please continue to keep Bishop Hale in your prayers to live out this calling with fidelity and courage.

Bishop Hale serves as the endorsing agent for the CEEC Chaplaincy Program that oversees the military and civilian chaplains serving our Armed Forces.
