Pending consent of a majority of Episcopal bishops with jurisdiction and a majority of diocesan standing committees, MacVean-Brown will be ordained and consecrated on Sept. 28 at Ira Allen Chapel in Burlington, to succeed the Rt. Rev. Thomas C. Ely who has served as Vermont's bishop since 2001 and will retire in October.

The Reverend Thomas James Brown will be Ordained and Consecrated as the 10th Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Maine on Saturday June 22nd. The service will be held at 11 a.m. at the Cathedral Church of St. Luke, 143 State Street in Portland.
