The Rev. Prince Singh Elected Bishop of Rochester

Posted on: February 2, 2008, The Living Church
The Rev. Prince Singh, rector of St. Albans, Franklin Lakes, N.J., was elected Bishop of Rochester on the second ballot from a field of field of five candidates during a special convention Feb. 2 at Trinity Church in Geneva, N.Y.

Fr. Singh received 35 clergy votes and 77 lay on the second ballot with 33 clergy and 75 lay needed. He enjoyed a comfortable lead in both the clergy and lay order on the first ballot. His nearest challengers were: the Rev. Stephen Fales, rector of St. Christopher’s, Carmel, Ind., with 12 clergy votes and 39 lay and the Rev. Richard Murphy, rector of St. Bede’s, Santa Fe. N.M., with 16 clergy votes and 20 lay. The other candidates were: the Rev. Bruce Gray, rector of St. Matthias, Whittier, Calif., and the Rev. Robert Odierna, rector of Good Shepherd, Nashua, N.H.

This is the second time in a row where the Diocese of Rochester has elected a cleric from the Diocese of Newark as chief pastor. Bishop Jack McKelvey was suffragan Bishop of Newark when he was elected Bishop of Rochester in 1999. Bishop McKelvey previously announced his intention to retire at the time his successor is consecrated. Assuming he receives consent from a majority of standing committees and bishops with jurisdiction, Fr. Singh will be consecrated May 31.
