Diane Jardine Bruce
My almost 12 years as Bishop Suffragan in the Diocese of Los Angeles entailed extensive work in New Community/Multicultural Ministry and Stewardship. I know the blessings and opportunities in this work for our Church. In addition, my prior work as a banker for 17 years provided me with extensive knowledge of finance, both in investments and in the preparation of complex budgets. Currently serving as Bishop Provisional of the Diocese of West Missouri has introduced me to a part of TEC with different opportunities for evangelism and growth. Being involved in the life of rural congregations particularly opened my eyes to their unique challenges. I am finishing 12 years as a trustee of the Church Pension Fund, which provides me with extensive knowledge of this important work for our church. I hope to bring my varied experiences both secular and ecclesiastical, together with my collaborative and transparent leadership style, to benefit the church by serving on Executive Council.
