Southwest Texan elected to seat on bishop committee

The leader of the Southwest Texas Conference delegation was elected last week in Pittsburgh to the Interjurisdictional Committee on the Episcopacy.

The Rev. Kim Cape, McAllen District superintendent, is one of two clergy representatives from the South Central Jurisdiction on the panel. It meets to consider transfers of bishops between the five U.S. jurisdictions or changes in jurisdictional boundaries.
Each jurisdiction has two clergy and two laity representatives on the committee.
