College of Bishops Consents to Election of Three Suffragan Bishops

On January 11, 2024, the College of Bishops of the Anglican Church in North America consented to the election of the Rev. Benjamin Fischer to be a suffragan bishop to serve under and in support of the Rt. Rev. Ken Ross, Bishop Ordinary.

Fischer has spent his ordained ministry in Idaho from where he will serve the Diocese of the Rocky Mountains as he also continues as rector of his current congregation, Christ the Redeemer Anglican Church.

“I’ve come away from this process very encouraged to do ministry with these guys,” Fischer said of the consent process. “In my ministry as bishop, I especially look forward to supporting and encouraging other pastors and their families. That’s one of the most important roles of a bishop, to pastor the pastors.”

His consecration will be Monday, February 5, 6:30pm, at Wellspring Englewood at the Opening Eucharist Service of the DRM Annual Gathering.
