Rev. Dr. Judy Chung (Cal-Pac) withdrew her episcopal candidacy shortly after the results of ballot 12 were announced this afternoon. She shared: “It is well with my soul, and I pray that it will be well with our soul together as we prepare to elect the next Bishop.” Cal-Pac is so grateful for Rev. Chung’s ministry and her continued commitment to The UMC.
