The Rev. Canon Robert L. Fitzpatrick was elected October 20 to be the fifth bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Hawai'i.
Fitzpatrick, 47, canon to the ordinary in Hawai'i, was elected out of a field of six nominees on the ninth ballot. He was elected with 87 lay votes and 42 clergy votes. An election on that ballot required 83 votes out of a total of 165 cast in the lay order and 35 of 68 in the clergy order.
The election took place in St. Andrew's Cathedral in Honolulu on the first day of the diocese's annual two-day convention.
