Rev. Chandler H. (“Chad”) Jones, rector of St. Barnabas Anglican Church in Dunwoody, was consecrated as a Bishop Suffragan of the Diocese of the Eastern United States, of the Anglican Province of America. The consecration took place in a ceremony at St. Alban’s Cathedral in Oveido, Fla., and was attended by an estimated 300 persons, in addition to 31 clergy. “I feel profoundly humbled and honored to have been elected to lead the faithful,” said Jones. “As bishop I pray for divine guidance as I shepherd Christ’s flock.” Jones, a noted preacher, teacher and scholar, will continue to serve as Rector of St. Barnabas, where he is assisted by Father Paul Rivard. The bishop, who is 39 years old, is the youngest bishop in the American Anglican Province. He is pictured at the consecration service, surrounded by his family, wife Megan, and Owain, Mailli and Aidan.
