The Church of Ireland Episcopal Electoral College for Connor Diocese has failed to appoint a new Bishop of Connor.
An Electoral College of the Church of Ireland met yesterday in Armagh to elect the new Bishop of Connor to succeed the new Archbishop of Armagh, the Most Rev Alan Harper.
Archbishop Harper was elevated to his new role as Primate of the Church of Ireland earlier in the month.
He sat as the president of the college of 60 members, which included three members of the House of Bishops.
Voting takes place on names brought forward by the college until one name receives two-thirds of the votes of both the lay and clerical members, who vote separately.
No name received the requisite majority so the appointment will now pass to the House of Bishops.
