Press Applications for Installation of the 25th Presiding Bishop

Episcopal News Service. November 13, 1997 [97-2015]

(ENS) Members of the press interesting in covering the installation of the 25th Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church in Washington National Cathedral, Saturday, January 10, 1998, are invited to apply for press credentials. An application form is included with this packet (see below).

Because this event is expected to generate media interest and available seating is limited, all diocesan, secular and freelance writers, photographers and videographers will need to be registered in advance. Also, we will be able to issue only one press pass to each news organization. A notice of accreditation will be sent.

The Office of News and Information is working with the cathedral to arrange a press conference before the installation and a photo opportunity with the new presiding bishop and his family following the service.
