Bishops Group Nears Electing First Black President
The U S bishops conference poised to elect its first African American president, Bishop Wilton D. Gregory of Belleville Illinois, who also serves as conference vice president. The election, likely at the fall meeting in Washington, follows a history of vice presidents advancing to the top post. Gregory, 58, ordained in 1973, leads a diocese covering southern Illinois and is noted for his stance against the death penalty and physician assisted death. He is widely seen as a strong leader and advocate against racism within the church. News focus includes his anticipated ascent and the broader context of African American Catholic representation.
