Candidates to Offer Views

Four candidates vying to become bishop coadjutor and the eventual leader of the 85,000-member Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles will be presented in a public forum Monday in Anaheim.

The candidates will discuss their views on spiritual leadership, sexuality, cultural diversity and effective ways to involve youths and laity in the church. The successful candidate, who will be elected at a Nov. 13 convention of more than 1,000 clergy and lay delegates, will first serve as an area bishop in one of the diocese's six counties before eventually succeeding the Rev. Frederick H. Borsch.

The four will speak Monday in Orange County at St. Michael's Church, 311 W. South St., Anaheim. The session is open to members of the clergy from 1 to 4 p.m. and to the public from 7 to 10 p.m. For information, call (714) 535-4654.

Outside of Orange County, forums will be at 9 a.m. today for clergy and 2 p.m. for laity at All Saints Church, 3847 Terracina Drive, Riverside; and at 2 p.m. Sunday for clergy and laity at Cathedral Center of St. Paul, 840 Echo Park Ave., Los Angeles.
