Community organizer Deon Johnson strong contender for next episcopal bishop?

Deon Johnson — second person from  left

Remember Obama’s 2008  mantra –  Hope and Change– ? Remember that    Obama’s background was in  community organizing?

Another community organizer, Deon Johnson,  is a strong contender for the top job as Bishop of El Camino Real located in Salinas, CA.

In the picture of five people above, Deon Johnson is the second person from the  left.

Will  church  pick a ‘community organizer’ for  their next bishop? Tomorrow, 6/1/19, clergy and laity reps  pick one of five contenders for the top job as Bishop of El Camino Real.

In his taped  performance at Almaden episcopal  church in San Jose Deon Johnson  appears  smooth, verbally  quick and similar to  another community organizer who captured the American presidency  back in 2008 – Barack Obama.  Deon Johnson  is a native of Barbados,  and currently lives in Michigan  with his husband and two adopted children.

Below are   videos of several of the candidates speaking at   Almaden church in San Jose, CA.

One of them, Lucinda Ashby,  grew up in Peru, speaks fluent Spanish and her role model is her model.
