The nominating committee of the Diocese of Southwest Florida has submitted the names of three rectors for the election of a bishop coadjutor in that diocese.

None of the nominees is from Southwest Florida. The Rev. Robert S. Dannals is rector of Christ Church, Greenville, S.C.; the Rev. Jacob W. Owensby is rector of Emmanuel, Webster Groves, Mo.; and the Rev. Dabney T. Smith is rector of Trinity, New Orleans, La.

The electing convention will take place Dec. 9 at St. Peter’s Cathedral, St. Petersburg. The bishop-elect will become the fifth bishop of the diocese upon the retirement of the Rt. Rev. John B. Lipscomb.
