The Scottish Episcopal Church has released a shortlist of candidates standing for election next month as Bishop of Edinburgh.
The names of Dr John Armes, the Rev Michael Parker and Dr Alvyn Pettersen were put forward last month by a Preparatory Committee of lay and clergy members of the diocese and the wider SEC led by the Primus of the SEC, Bishop David Chillingworth.
The three candidates will meet with members of an Electoral Synod on 4 February 2012, with the election of the new bishop scheduled for 11 February.
