Bishop Peggy Johnson
Retired Bishop Peggy A. Johnson will serve as interim bishop for the New England Conference (Boston Episcopal Area) from Jan. 1, 2023, through Aug. 31, 2024.
The UMC’s Council of Bishops approved that recommendation from the Northeastern Jurisdiction’s College of Bishops and Committee on the Episcopacy.
Bishop Johnson, who retired in 2021 as bishop of the EPA and Peninsula-Delaware conferences, will relocate to New England from her home in Virginia.
The NE Jurisdictional Conference, which did not assign a bishop to the Boston Area this month, may elect bishops again in 2024. Read more at https://www.neumc.org.
