The Right Rev. Jim Waggoner, Bishop of Spokane
The Rt. Rev. James E. “Jim” Waggoner Jr. will visit St. Mark’s on Sunday, April 10. He will celebrate the Holy Eucharist, preach, receive new members and hear the Renewal of Baptismal Vows at the 9:30 a.m. service.
After the service, the bishop will be the guest at a fellowship hour in the Parish Hall, and then meet with members of the Vestry, the parish’s leadership team.
Waggoner was consecrated eighth Bishop of the Diocese of Spokane in October of 2000. A native of Ohio, he holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Marshall University and Master of Divinity, Doctor of Ministry, and Doctor of Divinity degrees from the Virginia Theological Seminary in Alexandria, Va. Before entering seminary, he served in the U. S. Navy for six years.
Prior to his election as bishop, Bishop Waggoner served 21 years in the Episcopal Diocese of West Virginia, 12 in parish ministry and nine on the Bishop’s staff as Canon to the Ordinary, Congregational and Community Consultant, and Deployment Officer.
Early in his episcopate, and following intensive meetings across the diocese, the diocesan convention adopted the mission statement “Be Bold in Christ,” along with mission imperatives in support of this vision. In 2005, building on the work done in developing the mission imperatives, and looking ahead to the future, Bishop Waggoner launched a successful two-pronged endowment campaign to provide funds to endow the episcopate and to provide funds for church growth and development.
In his ministry, Bishop Waggoner emphasizes effective leadership grounded in ongoing Christian formation as being essential to empowering all members for the mission to which God has called us: proclamation of the Gospel by word and example. In his teachings, he emphasizes the baptismal imperative to respect the dignity of every human being and the call to live this out in our words and our work.
