Sean Rowe Elected Youngest Episcopal Church Leader in Over Two Centuries

Rowe, 49, takes on the role amid declining membership and calls for adaptation to modern challenges.

Rowe succeeds Bishop Michael Curry, the first African American leader of the Episcopal Church.
Rowe was elected on the first ballot with a significant majority in the House of Bishops.
He has been a bishop since 2007 and currently oversees two dioceses in Pennsylvania and New York.
Rowe emphasizes the need for the church to adapt to societal changes and avoid top-heavy structures.
Outgoing Bishop Curry praised Rowe's vision and practical approach to leading the church.
