CHICAGO, IL [MW Diocese Communications] — In a letter dated April 17, 2013, Archpriest John Zdinak, Chancellor of the Diocese of the Midwest, updated parish clergy and members of the diocesan and parish councils on a number of matters.

The text of Father John's letter, which is available here in PDF format, reads as follows.

“As you are all aware, His Grace, Bishop Alexander of Toledo, has been assigned by the Holy Synod as Locum Tenens of the Episcopal See of Chicago and the Diocese of the Midwest.  For purposes of good order and consistency, I have been instructed by His Grace to give direction for correspondence and requests for Episcopal visitation.

“All correspondence for His Grace should be addressed to him as the Locum Tenens of the Diocese.  They should be addressed to the Chancery office in Chicago.  They should be copied to me as Chancellor, preferably electronically.  This will aid us in keeping good records of all correspondence in Diocesan office.”
