A third bishop will be appointed soon in the Diocese of Virginia, following the departure of the Rt. Rev. F. Clayton Matthews, bishop suffragan, who was appointed to lead the national church's office of pastoral development. The diocese's council on Sept. 19 voted to allow the Rt. Rev. Peter Lee, Bishop of Virginia, to create and fill the position of assistant bishop subject to the approval of the diocesan standing committee. The assistant will join Bishop Lee and the Rt. Rev. David Colin Jones, bishop suffragan.
