2013 Synod Assembly - Highlights

James S. Dunlop Elected Bishop of Our Synod  

The Rev. James S. Dunlop was elected bishop of the Lower Susquehanna Synod on the fifth ballot by the voting members of the 2013 annual Synod Assembly held June 6-8 at Messiah College in Grantham, PA.

Bishop-elect Dunlop will succeed Bishop B. Penrose Hoover effective September 1, 2013, to lead the synod's 239 worshiping communities. Bishop-elect Dunlop is the fourth bishop elected since the ELCA was formed in 1988 from three predecessor Lutheran bodies.

The Rev. James S. Dunlop currently serves as pastor of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Littlestown, PA. Ordained in 2005, Dunlop received the Master's of Divinity from the Lutheran Theological Seminary Gettysburg in 2005, and the Bachelor of Arts, Magna Cum Laude, from Gettysburg College in 1978. He has served as chairperson of the Compensation and Benefits Committee and as a member of the Budget and Finance Committee of the Lower Susquehanna Synod. He is Dean of the Hanover Conference and is a voting member to the ELCA Churchwide Assembly in 2013. Dunlop has served as both president and secretary of the Littlestown Ministerium.

Bishop-elect Dunlop and his wife of 34 years, Connie, a Special Educator in the Northern York School District, have three adult children, all married, and three grandchildren.
